Thread: 300 Wby Loads

My current load at the moment is 180g TTSX behind 83g of 2217. Velocity is about 3050 fps and at 150m Im getting MOA groups but nothing tighter. Ive loaded some 210g LRAB with 83g of 2217, but i want to try the Reloder 26. Anyone used it before?

Yeh l have we used it in Africa as at one point Reloder was all we could get ,note while l was guiding in the tropics & Africa l always settled on just good accuracy & game performance from "mild" loads for my rifle ,rather than speed to allow for the heat, as rifle most often sat in the dash racks rather than packed away in a case .

Again with the 180 TTSX l ran it at around the 3100-3150fps & it is devastating on game,the only 200's l ever used were the 200grn Nosler Partition with Reloder 33 & from my old load data they were doing just under 2850fps & the 200gr TSX FB with Reloder 25 again doing just under 3000fps.

I found Norma brass is by far the best as far as reuse & is apparently who Weatherby use for their excellent loads & preferred Rem 9 1/2m Primers or Fed GM215M's .
