Any 300 RUM reloaders on here

[puppy]

I have had a custom 300 RUM for about 7 yrs. now and up until now I have only shot 210 gr. Bergers from HSM but now I want to start reloading for it. I have the press, scales, case trimmer and tumbler already, will buy dies soon. I have reloaded for 30-30 Win, 30-06, 300 Win Mag and 44 Mag currently or in the past but up until now just haven't bought the dies for the 300 RUM. Plan on shooting a 200 gr. Barnes LRX open to suggestions on powder and charge weights for some of your go to loads. Thought process is if you have a good starting point I might be able to adjust it to my gun pretty easily.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I shot a crap load of Retumbo with a 200 Accubond that was going like 3200 fps ..with the Barnes bullet you cant use my data so I wont list it..start about 95 hrs and work up from there...

I'd do like I typically do with any new cartridge I start loading for and look at the Hodgdon website for loads. Beyond that, there is no guarantee that a load that works well in another rifle will be equally good in yours.

I would go with Retumbo since it gives the highest velocity at approximately equal pressure compared to other appropriate powders.

Cousin has a 700 stainless 300 RUM and he uses Retumbo and 215M primers

I find it interesting that guys named TINY & PUPPY shoot 300 RUM's!

Remind me not to play poker with you boys

Pushing a 150 grainer with 96 grains of anything....egads you gonna know you touched that one off.

That would kill a deer so quick it would have died yesterday.

And I love seeing IMR7828 keep on popping up. I am back to that powder in my 243.

I pushed a 208 amax to 3313 FPS 5218 fpe
It hurt the deer bad
I also uses me big 150 accubond load
And loaded. 200 accubond to 3200 something

That rifle was a hoss

I like re25 under the 200AB's. 2280 fps, but a little pressure signs if I shoot over 70 degrees. (30" barrel). There is a new slower alliant powder I'd like to try, but just don't shoot that rifle as much anymore and don't want to fiddle with new load development.

 

[Deer Assassin]

mega I assume you mean 3280

:tu:
Don't know about PUPPY,
but I've met TINY,
and thinking he's a big guy about your size, but closer to 7 feet tall!

Mine ran 3,650 with RL-22 and a 150 tsx. However, it had to go down the road. I hated shooting that gun. Felt like a dam sledgehammer hitting me...

Was a very accurate load in mine though.

my analogy always was it it like driving a top fuel dragster to work every day
