Default loads for 300RUM

Just gotmy Rem 700 .300 Ultra Mag with Hogue stock , Gallard match barrel and Leopold QR Rings (1") that I bought from my hunting buddy and I am looking for some info on loads that work well from this Caliber. he gave me a few loadslike 150gr Hornady IB / 165gr Sierra Gameking / 180gr Barnes XXX / 200gr Nosler Accubonds and a few others I can't remember right now.

I plan onbuying the following and reloading them

180gr / 200gr Barnes TSX
180gr / 200gr Speer Grand Slam

200gr Nosler Accubond

220gr Nosler partition 200gr Sierra Gameking

Default RE: loads for 300RUM

I was shooting 94gr of H1000 with 180gr partition really well out of mine and several of my friends. Problem was it was slow at 3180fps.

I switched to RL25 and 180gr TSX, and got some decent speed.

Thats because RL25 is way slow for a 150gr bullet. RL22 would be a much better choice.

I have had 3 300RUM, and find faster burning powder for 150-165gr bullets work well, and slower burning for 180-220gr. RL22 and 7828 are nice powders for 165gr bullets I find. H1000, RL22, are great for 180gr bullets, and RL25, Retumbo, are great for 200gr bullets.

Should be a great load. 4831 is like inbetween 4350 and H1000.

My 300ultramags both liked the 180gr tsx in front of r-25.Both averaged 5/8" groups at 100 yards and around 3380fps.
