I just finished prepping about 500 pieces of 300 WSM brass, tomorrow I'll start loading it up. The first 50 will use the rest of my 4350 and the Tubbs Final Finish lapping bullets, but after that I'm going to try and work up some loads with Reloader 17 and 168gr Match Kings. Gun is a FN PBR XP with a 24" barrel, plan is to start around 66gr and work up to 69gr max, COL of 2.85".
My problem is I'm having a real hard time finding any data for Match Kings and RL17 in 300 WSM. Best I've found is some threads on 24hourcampfire with other 168gr bullets, and I'm guessing to expect around 3150fps at 68gr. Alliant listed 3217fps with 68gr and a 165gr Speer, which might be a bit optimistic.
I'm just looking for a bit of real world feedback on RL17 in a 300WSM so I can make the best out of my trip to the 600 yard range. Data using the Match Kings would be great, but any input would help. Next up will be 175gr and 200gr Match Kings after I get the 168gr load worked out.
And, I will post data here after I get back on Tuesday.
