300 Weatherby Pet Loads

[D21ALASKA]

Hoping some of you fine folks may have a few recommendations on 300 Bee loads from your experience. She's been in the safe for awhile and I finally scored a bunch of primers today so I'm back to working loads.

I've got the following on hand:
180gr. Ballistic Tips and Accubonds
200gr. Partitions
RL 17/19/22
IMR 4350/4831

Don't tell anyone about the bullets you have or you might get a visit from some Nosler forum members.

Serious note...

IMO...
IMR 4350 and 4831 are two of the very best in Roy's beloved 300

What I've found anyways.

Some are great with other powders. Perhaps a little faster here or there...

But if there are two powders that will give great results(accuracy and speed) across many bullet varieties(being less fussy) in the 300 Weatherby it's the two IMR you have. 4350 and 4831

I think every reloader needs IMR 4350 and Winchester 760 on the shelf at all times

Good luck

My Pet load with IMR4350 and 180 BT or AB is not "safe"

As Fotis notes, 7828SSC with a 180 grain bullet is magic in the 300 Weatherby if you can find some of that.
Load up 81/81.5/82/82.5, 3-5 cartridges of each.
Shoot them, and one will be your load. So far it works for every 300 Weatherby I've had come through.

Thanks fellas. No 7828 on the shelf unfortunately but I'll keep an eye out. Pickings are slim up north here.

Fotis,
Is that a 3 shot or 5 shot group?

What is SWFA scope? I've never heard of that brand or is that an abbreviation for something..??

Thx

Thanks for that heads up Fotis. Unfortunately nobody will ship powder or primers to me here in AK so I have to rely on local resources. Pickings are still very slim here in the North.

You have RL22, and AB/PT, three of us killed 22 animals in Africa with that combination in three different Mark V 300 WBY. Up to Zebra, Hardeneast, eland

This works well in my son's rifle as well! I think I use 83 grains, but same same!

Poop! I did not know that!

Poop! I did not know that!

Poop is right. Been a real tough couple years because of it. Yesterday was the first time I'd seen primers on the shelf locally in at least 2 if not 3 years. I paid for them but at this point was happy to do it. New local shop and he is trying to get in as much as he can. Even commercially getting powder/primers here is a chore.
