Gonna do some load development for my buddy's 300 WBY for him going with us to Newfoundland. He's current shooting handloads he got many years ago, only knows they are 150gr. He is hoping to use "A better 150gr bullet". 150 partition going to do OK from a WBY? I'm trying to lean him to our standard 180gr Accubond we all use in 06, 300WSM, and 300WM. I run 200gr AB in my 300 Ultra.
I've never loaded for a 300 WBY before and am just starting to look at info and data, figured it best to ask those with experience first

180 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets and about 82 grains of 7828 SSC will do great… ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/L65JsvmJ/IMG-1121.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/59nH1DWc/IMG-1128.jpg)

. 300WBY will drive a 200gr or 210gr pretty nicely. https://www.nosler.com/300-weatherby-magnum

I load 150 grain Barnes in mine, but only deer and pig hunt. A 180 Accubond should be great for a heavier animal.

168 gr Barnes TTSX loaded with Fed 215M primers and Reloder 26 is your huckleberry. Multiple one shot DRT on elk and big deer.

My 300 Weatherby likes 200 grain NPT’s.
I prefer classic.

I've never loaded for a 300 WBY before and am just starting to look at info and data, figured it best to ask those with experience first NO, on the 150gr. Try to find some 200gr Nosler partitions, or 175 LRX. Good luck with your hunt. Also, incase you didn't know, IMR7828 is the powder to use..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

My Alamo Precision Maverick likes Weatherby factory 200 grain Accubonds @ 3080 fps! Killed a 30” NF moose, B&C Woodkand Caribou and a 6x6 New Mexico elk with it!

The 150 gain partition wouldn't be my first choice out of a .300 Roy-or any round for that matter-but it'd work just fine. If that or some other 'better' 150 grain bullet is what he wants, I'd not sweat it one bit.

Why do some folks consider light-for-caliber bullets for any big game? It never ceases to amaze me…

Why do some folks consider light-for-caliber bullets for any big game? It never ceases to amaze me… It is usually based on less recoil but not always. For the OP, just load up some 180ish ABs or TTSXs and tell him they are 150s. When he gets a moose, tell him what they really were.

A 200 grain "something or another" over 7828 around 3000-ish that shoots tight groups.

Was happy with a 180 ballistic tip over 75grains of R17, moose was DRT. Shot just as fast as my 7828 loads in the Vanguards 24 inch barrel.

I would go near a Moose with a 150 grain in a 300 Weatherby unless it was a TTSX. I wouldnt moose hunt with a 150 in a 308 Winchester for that matter

The 4 300 Weatherby’s I reloaded all loved the 180 TSX and the max charge of 4831.
