FB66 Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Great sages of the forum. Have a new rifle on its way. Is anyone willing to share a powder recommendation for my 300WSM? Looking to not fry the lands on the 32inch barrel and planning to shoot 215 Bergers to 600, 900 and 1000 yds I need to also stand a chance of getting hold of it in the UK before the NRA / GBFCA comp in Sept. Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Given your criteria N165 or N160 would be obvious choices. without your criteria N565 H4350 H4831sc H1000 IMR 7828ssc RL23 RL26 RL22 RL25 RS70 RS 62 Not bad for someone who's yet to fire a shot from a .300 WSM, but I do, do my homework 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzarM1 Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 When I had mine 2 good powders were Rel22 and H4350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montey Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 In my f class open rifle RS62 works well I tried RS70 but it's a duel base powder using nitro can be unstable in high temperature.Im shooting 215 high breds and it works and I'm not the only one finding it's the best. Good luck in your load development. And niel welcome to the wsm dark side ring me any time bud for a chat if you go that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB66 Posted July 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Elwood - apologies I should have given more context. Having searched the internet/ powder sites, accurate shooter, full bore, shooters forum, target rifle, etc I had a long list. Some RS62, and N165 on its way to me with RL23 on backorder. Appreciate everyone's help and real-world advice. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KABOOM Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Each shot fired with whatever powder erodes barrels. Some do more than others possibly. I have 4400 shots through my CZ 22-250 having used 3 powders and it shoots fine. Not as fast as new for sure. i have read and not done that you may add powder to regain velocity lost via throat erosion. i mitigate the throat roughness with JB Compound seems to help. Your requirment's of accuracy will vary from mine, at this point the CZ will do sub half inch at 100 yds plenty good enough for my usage. Best wishes for good shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
