I was in the process of building a lightweight 300 WSM, but I just found a SS Tikka /06 for a steal. I was planning this as a sheep rifle for bear country. To the point.
Can I reasonably expect to SAFELY hit 2700-2800 with the 200 accubond? If so, what powder should I try? Any first hand experience? I've seen reports of guys running 208 Amax with RL 17 up to 2800, but that was 4 grains over max for RL 22 in nosler a manual (they don't list 17).
The way I see it, if I can get at least 2700 I'm not giving up anything meanigdul to the WSM. I'm still impacting at 2600 fps to 75 yards and my max is still ~650 with the AB.
