Default RE: Loading for a 300 RUM

ORIGINAL: Elkhntr04
The bullets I was working with are 150 gr accubonds, 168 A-max, 178 A-max, 180 accubonds. The powder I have right now are Retumbo and Rx22. I would appreciate your thoughts on the givien criteria and also maybe what else I should try or do different. Please by all means share you pet loads too.
I was told when I started reloading this firebreather that 150 gr bullets were too light to be shot out of a 300 rum. I do not have any data to support this, nor can I remember the articles where I read it. But just thought I would share with you in case you have problems getting the 150's to shoot. 180's seem to be the lightest I've heard.

I shoot 180 Accubonds with 93 gr h-1000 seated to 3.59 Win Mag primers.
