Any good loads for this barrel twist in 300wm using 200gr bullets?

Thanks in advance.
 
75 to 77gr of H1k and pretty much any flavor of 200gr pills have done well for me. 200gr accubonds mostly for hunting guns.

I haven't seen much difference in my 9 vs 9.4 vs 10 twists in win mags or PRCs. Whats your concern with the 9 twist?
 
200gr bullets are not shooting well. 220gr works good. Just wanting to know what bullet powder combos work for 1-9 twist barrels.
 
200 gr sierra, Peterson brass, 71.5 gr RE 26, 2870 fps out of a 25” 1:9 obermeyer
 
208 ELDm, hornady brass, 70.5 RE 26, 2970 out of 25” 1:9 obermeyer. Brass doesn’t last much more than 2-3 firings
 
Hornady brass is notoriously soft, and if you are pushing them hard aren't going to last. Maybe spring for some lapua, ADG, peterson and they should last a bit longer. I have been running a 10 twist with 208/210 grain projectiles. H1000 works well, a little more velocity with RL26
 
I have multiple 300WM and 300PRC all in 9 twist cut and button rifling and have no issues with accuracy using H1000/Norma brass/215M.

Which 200 gr bullets, at which velocity?

Reloading isn't that simple. You sound like you started reloading yesterday and want it all perfect right now.

Yup Hornady brass sucks. But I bought a ton before there were better options (I run Peterson now).

No it isn’t. You’re full of shit.
 
You laugh but I can get 15 firings on Hornady 300wm brass using 77grs of H1000 under 210-220gr bullets. I have a military chamber. It is not soft. Federal 300wm brass is soft.
