My .300WM liked IMR 4350 for 165 grain bullets.

Two things.  1.  Back the load off pretty good when you seat on the lands, you can SERIOUSLY pressure spike doing that.  2.  Why the 165?  THE bullet weight of choice for the .300 Winchester magnum has always been 180 grains for good reason.

 I purchase factory seconds from the Nosler Shooters Pro Shop when they're available,the most accurate bullets I've loaded are the now discontinued  Nosler Solid Base in 165gr & 180gr for my Sakos in 06 & 300wm. A friend found his most accurate bullet for his 300 weatherby is the Nosler 165gr solid base.
