Loads...

Sako AV 337--Firstly, welcome to TFL!

The .300 WSM is a good cartridge. But they are said to not like bullets heavier than 180 grains, so I'd plan to use those or lighter bullets.

Personally I like 165 grainers for most uses, in .30 caliber rifles.

Beyond that, what are you planning to do with this rifle--hunt, varmints, target shooting (short range or long) or what? The more specific you can be, the more direct we can make our answers.

I load for three 300WSM rifles. All three will shoot amazing well with Ramshot Hunter, fast and extremely accurate.

I've had excellent results with Hornady's 165 gr Interbond and RL-19. RL-17 is supposed to have more velocity, but I haven't tried it yet.
