Hello all, I just snagged a Kimber Montana in 325WSM and I am in need of load data for same. Specifically for the 200grain partition and TSX. Any help would be appreciated!

Here's what Speer's web site lists: SPEER They list Speer bullets, of course, but since you need to start low & work it up for your gun, you can substitute any brand. Dick

Thanks, Rock Chuck I did not know that Speer made a 200grain 8mm, could come in handy for practice and such. Thanks again!

The best price on bullets I have found is Midsouth Shooters. Here is the link.. http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/department.asp?dept=%52%45%4C%4F%41%44%49%4E%47&dept2=%4A%41%43%4B%45%54%45%44%20%52%49%46%4C%45&dept3=%2E%33%32%33%20%44%49%41

Thanks, Rock Chuck I did not know that Speer made a 200grain 8mm, could come in handy for practice and such. Thanks again! I've used standard Speer Spitzers for 35 years in 270 & 30 cal. I've found them to be very tough bullets and have had excellent results on deer and elk. Don't sell them short for any big game use. Dick

RL- Thanks for the link, I will give those 185 grain TSXs a look... Rock Chuck- That is good to know about the Speer, I am thinking that this 325 is going to be my mountain rifle for elk in tough country, so I need a good bullet.

Here's a couple loads that worked OK in my Montana 325: Made my longest shot ever on a deer with one of these loads (only 347yds). It flattened him quick. I think the 200gr TSX would be the way to go for Elk too...................DJ
