For my 300RUM
currently using 99gr. of H1000
150 grain sst's going about 3400
I like the group I'm getting, but want something a little heavier to buck the wind for longer shots. I need to buy new brass anyways, SOOOO while Im there :/
 
I load 92.5gr Re 25 under the 200 AB's. It's well under book, but I'm getting pressure signs with ambient temps above 70 degrees. At 50 degrees, it's going 3280 fps (28" lilja barrel). For some reason, my rifle likes it way off the lands, so my seating depth may have something to do with the increased pressure.

I might also look into the 180 AB's... I'm a really big fan of the AB bullet out of the 300 RUM. They've got a great BC and hold up well to the high velocity impact on game.
 
I started out with the 180 Accubonds and never went on to the 200s. I had intended to but accuracy with the 180s was excellent. I load 96.0 grs. of RL25 at 3.600 OAL and Federal 215M Primers. That length is still 0.195 off the lands but the longest that will fit in my magazine. I don't remember what the velocity was and didn't write it down in my log book but accuracy was inch to inch and a quarter at 200 yards.
