Anyone having any luck with the above combo with 150 and/or 165 grain TTSX's or Accubonds? Currently using RL-15 with good luck just feel like I'm leaving a couple hundred FPS on the table. Thanks for the input

RL 26 is for heavier bullets in your 300 WSM....190 and up. If you want more speed for the 150 & 165 ‘a try Ramshot Hunter.... 3300 FPS with 150’s and 3200 with the 165’s without leaning hard on it.

Speer shows R26 as the velocity champ until you go lighter than 150 grains. https://www.speer-ammo.com/reloading/rifle But no Ramshot data to compare it to.

I don't load for the 300 WSM but my 270 WSM does well with 130-140s and R26. For 110s I might go with R23 or R16 but I will probably try the R26 just to see.

This is perfect, thanks. Don’t have any ramshot anyway so no worries there.

I did just load some 140 AB’s with RL26 for 270wsm. Really anxious to go try them out. Probably won’t get to till Sunday.

For 110 TTSX’s I used IMR4350 with excellent results on paper but with 7-8 animals killed with them and almost all of them left little to no blood trails so I have gotten away from them.

Try some RL 17. It’s hard to beat in the 300 wsm.
