300wm Favorite Powders?

[theddguide]

I've loaded both H1000 and h4831sc and both are very good and accurate with H1000 producing more speed

Retumbo and 200 gr eld x

RL26 if H1000 not around but neither are!

 

[Possum Cop]

All of the above are solid recommendations. You could add a nosler partition/accubond 180 and H4831.

I'm loading this same set up for one of my rifles, the other one is H1000 and the 200 grain accubond. Just because one likes lighter bullets and the other likes a little heavier.
A hunting buddy uses IMR 7828 and 180 grain SBT.
Just curious is anyone is running H4831 SC.

200AB is great 300WM combo with H1000, RL22, RL26, H4831sc, IMR4831. Lots of elk from lots of shooters get DRT from it.

I have run 4831 sc with the 180 but it really loses velocity to H-1000 , Ramshot Mag, and N-570 with the heavier bullets.

I shot H-1000 forever and changed over to N-570.. It dropped my ES and SD and 570 shoots one hole now.. It does burn barrel more but, for a hunting gun the accuracy speaks for itself. H-1000 is a great powder but I just couldn't get the same numbers. 215 Berger and Fed 215 primer.

Rl22,26,33 all work really well. A little known powder Winchester WXR and RAMSHOT Magnum also work very well

H1000, Berger 215, and 300 WM are like peanut butter, jelly, and bread.

This has been my go to. With the scarcity of H1000 I switched over to IMR 7977 with excellent results. I lost a little velocity. The accuracy is still great

I'm surprised Magnum has not been mentioned yet. I have used H1000, RL26, H4831, and 7828 in my 300wm and have not had the results achieved with Ramshot Magnum. Using 180 Accubond, I found two nodes...one at 2990 and one about 3100fps. Both will do sub MOA if I do my part. Great powder. Clean burning. Meters like water. I highly recommend it.

200 gr AB with IMR4831 has been good to my 300wm

Don't forget the newer rl23 and especially the old school rl25. With an old 300 of mine I used to have a load with the hornady 220 round nose (not a 1000 steel round, but a beast inside 300 yards, that blunt bullet just plain SMACKED) that hovered right around 2800 feet per second. Thumper.

 

[Greyfox]

While both are good powders, I switched from H1000 to Retumbo about 6 years ago. I found that I could get 75-100FPS higher velocity with the same ES and accuracy out of my 24" Milspec 700.

 

[baldhunter]

A powder I've recently started liking a lot with bullets in the 180-200gr range is Ramshot Hunter.

H1000 powder or ADI 2217 as it is known in Australia is my go to powder for my 300 winmag
