Any body got favorites they want to share at wsm/ winchester mag velocities ? didn,t draw for colorado , again , so just want to use the rifle this winter and my 180 loads are over kill on 120 lb white tail . I know they will work fine , as i have used them before , just looking to tinker with 150's . Thinking might need to stay with ptns, or accubonds , and if i like the load ,and ever draw again, might use it on elk . not oppossed to using a standard bullet either if any one has a favorite .

67 of R17 is what I've used with the 150/155's

If you are looking for some great speeds along with good hunting accuracy, I have found RL17 to be just the ticket for my 300 WSM.
Start lower than what I show below and work up as my rifle can exceed most listed maximums by a small margin before showing signs of pressure.
69.3 gr RL17; 155 VLD @ 3234 fps; 16.5" tubed Ruger Frontier compact. Add roughly 4.5% to 5% in velocity for a 24" barrel. If your rifle can go the 69.3 gr then you should expect speeds from around 3375 to 3400 fps and possibly exceeding 3400 fps with a 150 gr bullet from a 24" barrel.

Dober OOOHHHH. Even I'll try that out ...Now fill us in on a good hunting spot ...I need to get some ark filling done...
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

iirc, 65 grains of imr4350 under a 150 tsx gave me around 3300 fps. I'll have to go look it up to be sure tho. I also use imr4064 in another one.

67.5 of W760 under a 150 NP does 3375 fps in my Montana .300 WSM with great accuracy. It's a stiff load so work up to it.

67.0 grains of Reloder 17 shot 150 accubonds just over 1/2" inch for me at 100 with WW cases and WLR primers out of a FN Model 70 Extreme Weather. Probably all I needed for Alabama deer but I bought my .300 WSM to shoot 180's or heavier out of and settled on a 180 SST for deer.
