Just got a 300 WM for christmas and was thinking of RL22 for powder and 180 NP. Any favorite loads you want to share with any powders? Thanks. [Big Grin]

Excellant Powder choice. My pet load is 73.5Gr's of RL-22 behind a nosler 180Gr.Partition. As always be safe and reduce this load and work back up good luck with the new Mag.

My favorite for a 180 is:
IMR-4831 From 59.4 grains to 75.5 grains
Winchester WLR Primer

But,
RL-22 From 63.5 grains to 77.0 grains
Winchester WLR Primer
works okay...

What I really like is:
Bullet: Sierra 200 Grain Hollow Point Boat Tail
Powder: 71.7 grains of IMR-4831
Primer: Winchester WLR
Case: Winchester
Firearm: Ruger 77
Velocity:2,986 @ 15' from muzzle

I shot a 300 Win Mag for many years. Best accuracy always came from Re 22. 73.5 pushing just about any 180 grain bullet, with the Nosler BT and Barnes X being particularly accurate. Velocity out of the 24" barrel was 3000 FPS plus. I tried some RE 25 and that worked well. Unfortunatly, I had about 5000 round through the barrel and accuracy fell off. I traded the rifle. I now hunt with a 300 WSM and took 3 deer with it. Accuracy is excellent and it was easy to load for using RE 22 and 180 grain BST.
