Nice post.
300 WM is a brilliant caliber.
 
Phil, I use H4831sc in my 300WM. 72.0 gr with a 180 Nosler Partition chronographs 2,867fps. Not fast, but accurate and a Partition doesn't seem to do well when pushed as fast as monolithics need to go.

I find that Barnes bullets are more accurate in all my guns when a long way off he lands, as in up to .070" (most so far).

Good luck!

If you don't mind using a pricier bullet, try 200gr North Forks with H4831SC. I get 2850fps I think it is, at least 2800fps. Or try it with the 180gr version and I'll bet you'll be pushing close to 3000fps. That would be a pretty devasting load on most PG I'd think.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
