I've read recently somewhere that there is another 150 gr. factory load out for the 300 WSM besides the Winchester Ballistic SilverTip. Unfortunately I can't for the life of me get back to that information. It's not Federal, or Remington of course. Has anybody got the answer?

I'm still waiting on someone to come out with a 180 Nosler Partition, Trophy Bonded or A-Frame so I can take it to Africa this summer....I refuse to rely on the 'FlailSafes'!

TXPO,
Federal has 300 WSM in 180 gr TBBC/Grand Slam. I I think Remington is loading the Scirocco in 150 gr. They do not show it on their website. I just purchased some 130 gr Scirocco in 270 WSM at BassPro in Orlando, Fl. Remington does not show them on their website.

tradewinds,

Thanks for the heads up! I just checked Federals sight and you are correct....180 TBBC in 300 WSM!!!!

Thanks again!

They shot pretty good from my gun.

At this point Winchester has the 150 and 180gr ballistic silvertip,180gr power point,180gr fail safe,while Federal offers the 180gr speer grand slam,180gr trophy bonded,and Federal will be adding two new loads for 2003. They are a 150 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip at 3300 fps - and a 180 gr Nosler Partition at 2970 fps.Seems to be more and more loads being offered all the time for the 300WSM with 150gr scirocco loads appearing in some kind of limited Remington loading at Bass Pro shops lately.

Am I reading you right that Remington is offering a 300 WSM round, or are you referring to their SAUM?

Kensco I am quite sure he is referring to the fact that rem brought out a 300 WSM load this year.

Believe it or not Remington has brought out some limited loadings of WSM cartridges in 270 and 300 loadings.They don't aknowledge it in their ammo listings but have talked to people on the net that have bought them at Bass Pro shops in particular.Have also read posts about it on the Short Mag forum.There is also an outfit called Conley Precison Cartridge co. that loads an astounding array of WSM ammo with barnes,paritions,BT's,hornady sst's,swift scirocco's,speer deep shok's,and swift A-frame's and in all weights including 165,200 and 130gr.Only drawback is they have a 5 box minimum.
