[MudMuppet]

Hello I’m looking for a starting point in a tikka 300 wsm I got the LA bolt stop and longer magazine. I have 200 bergers and 208 eldm’s Winchester brass, H1000, RL 26 and 4350 any info is appreciated

Nothing? No RL 26 for the WSM??

I've only loaded mine with H4831sc to date.

Here's a link to some reloading data on Berger's website:

I don't know if Hornady offers and data on their website.

thank you I don’t know why I couldn’t find that, with the 200 grain bullet should start in the middle of that range and work up? Not sure how much the charge should differ with a 20 grain difference

Since that load is for a 200 and the data given is for a 180, I would try to find data for the 200. But, if I couldn't, I would be very conservative and drop the charge a full 10 grains from the low charge to start, and I would use a slow-burning powder. I'm not much of a risk-taker.
