Good Berger Hybrid for 300 WSM?????

[FEENIX]

It won't make that much of a difference. Your rifle might like a different OTL length.

This!

Anything from about 180gr to 220gr will be magic on that case.

Friend had a 23" Browning A-bolt in 300 WSM. He wanted a heavy high BC bullet. Made a load with 230 Berger Hybrid Target and RL-17. Got an accurate 2735 with 61 gr.(your results may vary work up carefully)

The amazing part was the bullet had to be seated deeply to fit and feed from his 2.8" magazine. Joked the base was sitting on the flash hole.

I watched him drop a cow elk at three hundred yards with authority. Exit with a 3/4" dia hole.

That's no slouch! I have a couple of boxes of 230s and might have to try it. Thanks for sharing.

200.20x with RL23. The 200.20x is designed for the short action. It's basically the same profile of the 215 with a little taken off the bottom.

Long action? Or short ?

Short

The long nose profile of many if the high bc bullets may be an issue.
I run the 200.20x is one of my f-class guns and my new lrh rig. From a 26" barrel you can get over 2900fps with 4831sc pretty easy. That is about the best ballistic performance you can run from the wsm.
You might also want to have a look at the 208eld.

Definitely likes 61 grains of RL17 with the 180 Elite Hunters

I think you have the 180's dialed in!

Got RL23, just need some 200.20x!
