SouthArkRobBest powder choice for WSM cartridges
I am loading for WSM cartridges and am interested in what powder gives the best velocity? I am loading for 7 WSm (soon) 300 WSM and 325 WSM. I have been using RE17.. what other choices are out there?? Thanks Robbie

Ed ScarboroI have had good accuracy with RL22 in the 300WSM but have switched to RL17 in my 7mmWSM from h414 and RL22. I am trying some loads in the 300WSM with RL17 and getting good velocity and accuracy so far. I am currently trying different seating depths with TSX's in the 300 WSM.

MTfor me RE17 has been the best in my 325 200grn NOS Prt at 2970 5 shot avg and a 220 game king at 2834.

Donald NelsonSo far my .270WSM likes H4831SC with 140 grain BT's and Retumbo with 150 grain Partitions.

338zmagFor a 300 wsm and Barnes bullets, R 17 works well and it is not a compressed load. The problem with short mags is that a lot of powders will be compressed loads.
I used 64.2 gr of R-17 and 180 gr TTSX bullets with CCI LM primers and got sub moa and over 2900 fps.

phurley5Like "jeffeosso" says, RL-22 is very good for my .270 WSM's, with RL-25 being a player for the heavier bullets. Good shooting.

model7LSSI have had a good bit of luck with Varget in 300WSM for 150s, and H4831SC in the 165s.
