    .300WSM

    I have a Tikka T3 chambered for .300WSM with a 1 in 11 twist barrel. I am going to reload for it and I have 2 projectiles and 3 powders. Berger 185gr Classic Hunter and Hornady 200gr ELD-X. The powders are all ADI. 2209; 2213SC; and 2225. Has anyone done and load development with any of these combos? I'm after COL and loads. Cheers.

    Start with factory COAL, then play with 'jump' til you get the smallest group.
    Just remember you're using 2 different shaped bullets, so the bullet seating die will need to be altered, depending on which bullet you're leading.
    ADI have some reloading info on their website, where you can find your calibre/bullet/powder combo.
    They don't seem to mind if you print off the page you want.
    Usual precautions/let outs apply.
