200 grain bullets in 300 WSM?

Anybody load/shoot 200 grain or heavier (220gr.) bullets in a 300WSM? If so what kind of velocities are you getting with what powders?

I don't load the WSM, but I do load the .300 RSAUM. It likes 200 gr bullets better than any other. 67 gr. of H4831sc seems to work real well. All my .300 RSAUM's(4) are 1-10 twist. All are sub-MOA, even the 18" barrel Rem. 673. I'm getting around 2800 fps in my 26" barrels.....Tom

Rae59,

I load 200 grain Nosler Partitions in my 300 WSM and I'm getting 2870fps from a 23" bbl.

I don't have my spreadsheet with me for the exact recipe, but if you would like my data send me a PM with your email and I will send it to you.
