    Anybody shooting 165 grain Noslers in the .300WSM?


    I just traded for a M11 in .300WSM and I have a pile of 165 grain Ballistic Tips from some of my other .30 caliber projects. Is anyone shooting these and if so what powder is working for you?

    Thanks in advance!

    Not currently but I have shot quite a few of them in the past. I found the best accuracy was with H4350 and Reloader 17.

    I have best results with Reloader 17 also, B-Tips and Accubonds.

    Thanks guys!

    That's what I was afraid of, with all the slower burning powders in the reloading cabinet. It looks like a trip to the reloading store.

    If you have H4831sc in the cabinet, try that before you go off buying anything else. Two of my 300WSM's shot 165 gr BT's exceptionally well in the 69.5 gr range with both Winchester (OK) and Norma (really good) brass using Fed 210M primers.

    I have IMR 4350, 4831, 7828, H1000, RE22 and Retumbo :'(

    I was hoping to use one of those, looks like the last 4 are for sure too slow with the 165s.
