Have used 200 grregular AB in my 300 WM and shot 3/4" without much fuss ... unless you re shooting beyond 600 yds or so the std 200 AB at 3000 +/- fps from that 300 WB will be awesome. Seems like many folks have had tough luck trying to get LRAB s to shoot. Because of that I ve not fooled with...

At 59 degrees and 4000' elevation should be supersonic to 1400-1500 yd range; lots of performance from 42 grs of powder. When my 22-250 AI is shot out, I m thinking a 22 Creed for easy brass, dies, etc as far as a replacement. I just wonder if an 8 twist will work up to 88-90 grain bullets...

Shot 100 s of 75 VMaxes with IMR4831 in my VLS. It was easy 1/2 MOA and 3400-3425 fps. I loaded 48 grs which is just slightly more than QL prediction. It was a stout load but bolt opened well and Primer pockets stayed tight. Real nasty on rockchucks and coyotes !

Picked up some 22 caliber 40 gr plastic tips from Midway a month or two ago to get ready for Sage rats and they re a flat base ( thus I believe Nosler and not Hornady) and they ve got 'gray plastic tips' on them too!! Threw me a curve when I first in-boxed them ... lol

Yes Scotty ... pretty serious medicine.

For those interested, shot my 75.5 gr load today with R22 and Sierra 180 GK. Temp 38 and 2925 fps.... usually does 3000-3050 in warmer temps. Shot 77 grs of R26 and did 3035 fps and 78 grs did 3125 fps. Could cover the 3 shot group of 78 grs R26 with a dime. Others grouped 3/4" +/- ... that's...

Same with H1000. Are many guys trying the new Endron IMR powders? Seems those go from 4350 range through Retumbo .... that covers a lot of ground/cartridges.

Scotty, thx for the feedback. I ve had at least one 300 WM in my safe for 47 years; yeah, I m old. Shot one of the 4831 s the first 20 years and R22 the last 25-27 years... all have performed great. Mostly thought R26 might be worth a look since it's done so well in my Swede ( like wise for...

Desert Fox, you re right... no real need to change just like to experiment and gives me an excuse to shoot! Currently using IMR4831, R22 and Retumbo ( along with R26) in a bunch of my rifles and see R26 as a potential candidate to replace with one powder. So far have seen good results to date.

That s really good velocity with that amt of powder. Did you work up any higher in R26 powder charge by chance? I m seeing data that goes to 78 grs or so with some 180 gr bullets. (Speer)

Haven't tried it in 243 or 270 yet... I d expect similar results. Need to wait til it's more available before testing my cartridges... I don't have that much of it!

Kind of like Bigfoot !

I ve had really good luck with velocity and accuracy of 75.5 grs of R22 with 180 gr bullets in numerous 300 WM s. Usually runs 3000-3050 fps and under an inch at 100 yds with 24" sporter barrel hunting rifles. Looking for anyone's experience with R26 in 300 WM with same weight bullet. ( I...

Even though not a large capacity case, with that fill % and ball powder I d personally work up with a mag Primer. Just a thought. ....

Should anyone have a long action Vanguard McMillan Sako Classic Edge fill cut for sporter barrel that they re not using let me know. Color not extremely important.... I can repaint/modify. Thx

Ditto Double Dropper.... should be good case fill and temp insensitive !!

Hornady Hornet

I did, thanks for lead!

Not even 1 17 cal shooter/reloader? Come on guys got to be someone; help :-)
