300rum?
hello everyone just bought a 300 rum in a 700 bdl looking for an accurate loaded with 180 to 200 grain bulletts i want to stay heavy because i am sure accuracy with lighter bulletts is not so good

RE: 300rum?
i want to stay heavy because i am sure accuracy with lighter bulletts is not so good My own choice for a hunting load is the 180gr tsx ahead of r-25.The muzzle velocity is 3380fps and groups average about 5/8" at 100 yards. |
RE: 300rum?
96 grains Retumbo nets 3200 FPS with a 200 grain accubond in my buddies 300 RUM. Max charges in my Nosler manual are:
91.5 Grains RL25 at 3185 FPS 95 Grains Retumbo at 3187 FPS 98 Grains Magnum at 3191 FPS The 200 grain accubond has a .588 BC and nearly identical in trajectory to the 180s because of it high BC. |
RE: 300rum?
I think that 200gr Accubond has a BC of .588, I like that! Personally I wouldn't go lighter than 180gr and would prefer the heavier 200gr in such a hot 300 cartridge. I really don't see the point in going lighter unless niether would shoot accurately, and I'm pretty sure you could get a 180 or 200gr to shoot well.

RE: 300rum?
the way that i came to that conclusion its just that most often very light bulletts in a large capacity case are not very accurate

RE: 300rum?
You will just have to see what your rifle likes, one ofmy buddies 700CDL that was just slightly accurised, bedded the action and floated the barrel channel, loves 100gr of Retumbo pushing a 180gr TSX, it will group .5 off a Lead Sled. Another buddies 700 that was fully accurized and rebarreled shoots better with BMG, besides, experimenting is half the fun!.

300rum
I allso shot the 300RUM mine is a remington SPS Stainless I shoot nosler 180gr accubond and today I found a load with nosler 150gr E-Tip. Tryed the remington 150gr scirocco bullet I ended up takeing them apart reweighed the powder to 93gr's andput them back together and now they shoot 1/2 inch groups. when I took them apart
the weight was between 93.5gr's to 95.8gr's I read an article soom were that remington used IMR 7828 in the 300rum in the nosler reloading book there max load for IMR 7828 was 93.0gr's. Now I just need to find loads for used brass in the 300 rum. |
