300WM 1-11" twist and the 200gr bullets

I have a T3 300WM with a 1-11" barrel twist.I have success loading the higher BC 180gr bullets.Has anyone had success with the 200gr bullets?.Nosler lists H4831 as their most accurate powder with this caliber and bullet weight.I was thinking about starting with the accubond.Thanks RB

Even if the Accubond should not stabilize in your barrel, try the Nosler Partition, it is a good deal shorter than the AB. As we know, in reality it is the length of the bullet that is the deciding factor, as opposed to the weight - although we think of bullet weight vs. twist rate, as an approximation.
