Shark Bait

I tested it in my Remington 700 Classic chambered for 300 WBY that has a 24 inch barrel. The groups were not as good as I get with either RL 22 or H 4831SC, however another rifle might prefer RL 25, who knows?

These loads were put up in Weatherby cases using Fed 215M primers:

86 grains RL 25 / 180 Nosler Part / 3015 fps
87 grains RL 25 / 180 Nosler Part / 3082 fps
88 grains RL 25 / 180 Nosler Part / 3109 fps

86 grains RL 25 / 180 Speer spitzer/3028 fps
87 grains RL 25 / 180 Speer spitzer/3063 fps

These loads were put up in Remington cases (which have less case capacity) and used Fed 215M primers:

85 grains RL 25 / 180 Nosler part/ 3120 fps
85 grains RL 25 / 180 Hornady SP / 3086 fps

84 grains RL 25 / 180 Nosler Partition Gold
3046 fps (max in my rifle)

Hope this helps, R Flowers

That is ironic that your last name is Flowers also. However, I guess I should not be TOO surprised, my dad and his parents moved out here from Texas to find work when my dad was a little kid.

Good Luck!!

You might give IMR7828 a try,I get 3240fps with 180gr bullet and excellent accuracy.

I agree with this advice. I get the same velocity with 86 gr. of this powder and 180 gr. bullets. 83 gr. of IMR7828 gives me 3000+ f.p.s. with 200 gr. bullets.

My 300 Wby is a Remington 700 Limited Classic with 24 in. barrel.

My experience with my 300 Weatherby suggests that H 4831 may give noticeably better accuracy, but at a sacrifice of about 100 to 200 or a bit more f.p.s. of the velocity you can get with max loads of IMR7828.
