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.

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

Tim,
I have not shot the 200gr bullets yet but I can tell you the the 180gr TSX with RL-19 and fed 215M primers are awesome!!!
Here is a good link.

The best price on bullets I have found is Midsouth Shooters.
Here is the link..

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.

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

I agree!!!! I just picked a Browning A-Bolt in 325 and hope it shoots that well.Anyone else want to share their load data? I am looking for more of the 220gr loads as this will be my "Alaska" gun...........
