Re: Loads & Bullets 300 RUM
96.4 grains Retumbo over a 200 Accubond gave me 3240fps and 2"-2.5" groups week after week at 400yds...Please note this is slightly over book max and will probably kill you in your rifle.
I hear a lot of guys running 95 grain...So start lower and work up to that.
I run a big extended box so my COl is pretty dam long. The chamber lead is also cut a bit longer to suite the long box(and heavy bullets).
I and am 50 thou off the rifling.
Barrel is 28 inches.
Brass is Blueprinted Nosler (early run) and doesn't last very long.
All of the above tends to lower pressure and slightly increase velocity...So go easy if you are shooting a stock rifle.
Peace

My chamber is tighttttt! The rifle shoots super accurate though Retumbo 88.8 with a Barnes210 HVLD jammed .010 into the rifling. 3015 fps everyday allday anyday, SD 6, Hart Barrel defiance action.
