I am currently working up some loads for my cuz. He shoots a Winchester short action 300 mag. I was using some 165gr Nosler Ballistic tips that I use in my .308. According to the Nosler data book The 300 WSM knocks on the door of 3100 fps with a tad over 61 grains of RL-15!!!! Do you guys think that is wasteful or what. I mean my .308 does 2830's with 46 grains of Varget. This seems to be powder hog! I am thinking I need to get him some reduced charge loads that match 30-06 like performance. 2900fps or so. This .300WSM is a pig. The more I look at the .300 mag in various flavors makes me love my .308 even more. I can do almost the same thing with way less powder
