I run 208 Amax's and H4831 in mine. It works well.

Re: 300 WSM Loads

Just loaded some Sierra 175 Match bullets with IMR4350 - 63.5 grains. Not a real hot load - right at 3000 fps with my stock remington 700 barrel but accurate and very pleasant to shoot. Only shot at 200 yards but was right at 1.25". Will try and take it to 500 yds this weekend. Also likes the nosler 180 accubonds with same powder. Really just started working up a load for this rifle. It was shooting several types of factory loads at around 2" at 100 yds so am pretty happy so far. Waiting for local shop to get some 208 Amax's to try.
 
Re: 300 WSM Loads

The test target my H.S Precision came with from the factory showed great accuracy but the load seems a little mild for shooting out to 1000yds. 62gr IMR 4350 168gr Matchking was only doing mid-2800's which seems low for that weight bullet. I am wanting to use a bullet that I can comfortably shoot matches with and not be scared to use the same load deer hunting. That being said I am leaning toward the 208gr A Max or the Berger VLD no lower than 175gr.
 
Re: 300 WSM Loads

I'm using 64.0 gr of IMR 4350 in Norma brass with a Rem 9 1/2 primer under a 180gr Nosler Bal tip. Rifle is a Rem 700 24" barrel.
 
Re: 300 WSM Loads

My H.S Precision bottom metal docent allow me to get crazy with the COAL on my 300 wsm. I bought some 208gr Amax's today to try and seated one to gist fit the magazine and it measured 2.858. Do you guys think that is long enough to use those bullets with a charge of IMR 4350 to amount to anything?
 
Re: 300 WSM Loads

I don't know if this will be helpful to you or not but here goes. I had a Rem. 300 WSM SPS Varminter w/ 26" barrel and the load that I got the best results from was 210 grn. Berger loaded with 64.5 grns. of H4831 and my velocities were 2832 fps.
