So I've heard that RL-22 is a great powder for .300 WM. Any input guys?

If you could, rate your top 3 powders, and top three primers.

IMR 4350 and Fed magnum primers in a .300 WM Sako for me. RL22 was a no-go.

RL22 is good in a lot of 300 winny's, but I would try the Hodgdon powders. Either h1000 or h4350. The temp sensitivity(or lack there of) of the Hogdgon powders means you don't have to work up a different load for different seasons.

I use h4350 in my 300wsm, and the load works from 110 all the way down to 0 degrees.
If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Same here, except with a Sendero and 190gr SMK. Haven't tried anything else yet because the results were so good.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Just had to chime in. IMR 4350 Winchester primers 165 Berger and If I found anything that shot any better it would be hard to beleive. The Sendero is an awesome rifle!
