300 WBY advise

[experthunter017]

I just pick up a 300 wby and i want to reload for it. I was courios if any one out there reloads for it and if so, what powder and bullet grain do you use and what works good for you. I live in Virginia and hunt here for bear and deear and i also go home to Pennsylvania to hunt bear and deer ( and the sometimes the mighty woodchuck hahaha) so mainly i am looking for a hunting load. I have some IMR 4350, H4891, Varget and Accurate 2520 i was courous if any of those powders would be good for the 300 WBY, any advise would be great thanks alot.

Take this for what it is worth, but I have not reloaded 300 Weatherby for about 7 years. I used to rely solely on rl-25 under 180 grain SST. Magnum or retumbo would be good alternatives, but expect to use 85 grains per round. I ultimately sold to gun, dies and brass and went back to 30-06.

^^^You'll need something in the arena of the speed of 4831. RL25 is good.

How about some of the milsurp powders like w867 or w872? I've heard that even though they are 50BMG powders, they work well in the magnum cartridges.

The biggest thing I used this load on was Gemsbok and it worked well.

We use Re22 in our 300 wby's with 165 & 130 gr bullets.

Ive also found a great load using ramshot magnum powder & 165 gr bullets.

We use these loads for hunting and have taken game all over the world with them.

Goodluck hunting with your new rifle its a great round.

Aloha!
