300 WSM Ammo opinions

Recommended Posts

I just bought a new Kimber 300 WSM topped with a Swarovski 6-18 TDS. Does anybody have any advice on what bullets to use. I reload so I am looking at what actual bullets and powders are a good choice. I want to lay them in there at long ranges. This gun is specifically for coues and bears. I want to have one consistant load to shoot both animals with accurately out to 500 or 600 yards. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

I have had good bullet performance on a few deer and half a dozen feral Texas hogs with 180 Sciroccos. 180 Accubonds would be another good choice.

A 150 grain Barnes TSX or Nosler Accubond would give you about 6" less drop at 600 yards than the 180's, and should still work on the black bears. I had difficulty getting the Hornady Interbonds to group out of 2 WSM's.

For powders, I have had good results with Ramshot Hunter, H4350 and H4831.

Right now I am trying to get a load built for 150 Accubonds fo the coues hunts, even though I have an accurate TSX load, but I like experimenting.
