300 WSM load workup

I tagged in and have been chasing .75-.4's with H-4350. 163HHT's Just not consistent accuracy. I gave it a quick clean after 60 rounds and switched powder to Superformance and second load was .535. I think I may be onto something. More to come tomorrow hopefully...
 
I was getting inconsistent groups with the combo of H4350 and Fed 210M, switched to Fed215M and groups are better, let's see if they hold.

Well, H4350 works like a charm, I'm shooting the 215s at 2820 with 63.0 gr and Fed 210M and COAL of 3.140.
That is a 6 shot group fired relatively fast.
If you're not at max load for this recipe, you may want to test just a touch more powder (like 0.2g) as that vertical stringing is often a sign of just being on the low edge of your powder charge accuracy node.
 
I know of a handful of 300 WSM's in my area and to a T they;re all using 64/H4350 with 180's. Back up powder is always R17.

Lots of elk are turfed with this load.

Glad you got it perking!
How does the velocity compare with H4350 and RL17? I'm shooting a 20" and want to keep all the speed I can with a 180
