Does anyone have any rcommended loads for the 300 WSM. I just purchased a Browning A Bolt and need to do some reloading for this rifle.

Hodgdon 4350
165 grain Nosler Partition
Federal LRM Primer
Winchester Brass

Start powder charge: 61 grains
Max powder charge: 65.5 grains
This is a recipe that my particular gun likes a lot. I'm testing this same recipe with 165 grain Hornady Interbonds now but I don't know how it's going to shoot.
Book says you should get 2898 fps at the start load, and 3047 fps at the max.

I got closer to 3100fps with my winchester featherweight in 300WSM with the max charge.

For more info, go to www.hodgdon.com and www.shortmags.org.

I've done very well with a 168gr CT Ballistic Silvertip using 62.5 gr of W760 and a magnum primer. I'm getting groups under 3/4" at 100 yds out of my Savage 16 in .300WSM with this load.
