Some load data for .325 WSM

onlybrowning · September 7, 2007, 08:25 AM

I was searching for some good data for a while with no luck, so I went it alone. I have my Browning A bolt Stainless Stalker shooting sub MOA with 65.5 grains of H-4350 and almost as good at 65.0gr. I also tried H-4831sc and it grouped well with the max charge of 65.8 but not so well with less powder. All shots fired using a Nosler Ballistic Tip 180 grain bullet, Winchester (new-not fire formed) brass and Federal 215M primers.

How do you know what the max charge is if you couldn't find any reloading data? Did you look at a Hodgdon reloading manual go to www.hodgdon.com ? Your loads are exactly at their published max loads. Did you look at a Lyman reloading manual? Just wondering how much research you did prior to experimenting.

No I used a reloading data manual for the data, I meant that nobody offered any leads to what worked for them.

Just seemed kind of funny that your loads were at Hodgdon's listed max. Anyway, I have always liked the Lyman reloading manual because they tell you which loads were the most accurate tested. Take a look at one, you may like it too.
