300 RUM
Has anyone worked up a good load for there rum .New gun need a good start ,I had a 300 win. for 15 years and it liked the 180ga. coreloks in the factory load best and I really liked the ball ,I have a handfull of nice mushrooms I dug out of elk,moose and bears. I gave the wincheter to my brothers son for his 16th birthday .I will add I like shooting game at long ranges over 400 yards.

If you want i can look up all my loads I worked up. I played around with the 300RUM for3 years and went thru 3 of them. I shot 150gr ballistic tips, 165gr ballistic tips, 165gr TSX, 180gr grand slams, 180gr partitions, 180gr accubonds, 180gr TSX, 180gr scirrocos, 190gr matchkings, 200gr matchkings, 200gr accubonds, and 200gr partitions. I tried several combos with IMR4350, IMR7828, H4831sc, RL22, RL25, H1000, and Norma MRP.
I mostly like to play with these guns, and shoot long range.

RE: 300 RUM
We shoot the 200 grain Sierra hunting bullet in the three 300RUM's I load for. We use RL25 powder. I will not list the grains, because we load them HOT. The cartridge is devastating on any game animal we shoot. When guy's want to argue about killing ability of cartridge's, I would like for them to personally witness what this cartridge is capable of. They would throw the sub 25's over the hill.
I am going to try a pound of Retumbo in January, but I do not think I can improve the performance of RL25. Tom.
