300RUM
« on: March 10, 2011, 07:47:49 PM »
Does anyone have any good pet loads for this one???   I want to get some of those new hornady 225gr match bullets and give the 600 yard match shoot at vale a try.

that's plenty of gun for only 600 yards
I just ran some ballistics on a .300RUM w/ 185VLD's @3300 that were supersonic to 1800

Look into
H1000
Retumbo
RL25

I loaded up some 210 bergers with retumbo, I have loads that are dang near 4 inches long before I am finding the lands.  I am torn between a heavy bullet and a 180gr hornady SST or Barnes TTSX.

Have you tried any 208AMAX's or the 220SMK?

I did but that was before I had my gun fixed after a gunsmith messed up the muzzle brake.  Now my gun has no muzzle brake.  Needless to say I have switched gunsmiths.  I have so many ideas on what I want to do, but it all revolves around uncle sam giving me my dang money
