300 RUM question
I know from examinaning a round that it appears this case could hold near 100 grs of powder. Who can tell me where it falls in the power catergory, I know it's somewhere ahead of the 300 win mag. I have no reloading data on the round and this is where I usually get my info, from manuals that is.My friend bought one in a Browning A-Bolt today and at $1.50 per pop he's gonna have to roll his own. Is there a sight where I can find reliable data for this cartrige. Thanks Glenn

Go to Alliant.com. I load for 3 of them. I like RL25. 100 grains is no problem, the case will hold more than that. BE CAREFUL. I am going to buy a pound of Retumbo and try it. I have heard good things. Tom.

RE: 300 RUM question
skeeter, I don't know what model number it is but when I get a chance to handle it again I 'LL try and get the info for you. He bought it yesterday, 11-04-06, NIB. I think the dealer here where he got it receives his guns from Elliot Brothers. I was just looking in their catalog and the only A-Bolt shown chambered in 300RUM is the A-BOLT II HIGH GRADE. But my friends gun has the composite stock!
