    R22 and the 208 works great
    1-10 needed though.
    1000yds is fun, 1500yds is getting interesting, 2000yds is exciting, 2500yds will blow your mind

    Rl 22 - 208s an 210 @ 1 in 11 Sako shoots good ,( I prefer 2213sc for 208s or 210 - 2850 fps 24" barrel ), N550 for 165 sirocco swifts .. there is a bit said about the 17 all thou not much data ,mainly temp unstable cold to hot if your pushing it hard .

    ok, well i will work up some loads in about 3 weeks and report what i find.... Very conflicting info on the temp sensitivity of the powder, some forums and data say its very stable while some say its no so. I think it all just depends on how the ammo is stored prior to shooting and wether it has been sitting in a hot chamber. So many variables. Best to get my own data i guess

    AR2209 i find is a good alround powder for the .300wsm.

    gives good consistent speed and case fill is confortable..
