HELP W/ 300 RUM LOADS

[HUNTEN JUNKY]

JUST WANDERING IF Y'ALL COULD HELP ME ON SOME GOOD LOADS FOR MY REM. 700 SENDERO SSF 300 RUM. THANKS

what game will you be hunting and how far? I have worked up loads for my 300 RUM all the way from the 125g BT to the 220g SMK. I used H-1000 for my powder of choice and have been quite happy. My favorite load is 92g H-1000, 200g AB, Fed 215, 3.660". Good for 3100fps and 1/2 MOA to 800 yards most the time. A good whitetail load I had worked up around the 150g CTBT. IT was 105g of H-1000, Fed 215, 3.660", 3650fps, and usually better accuracy than my 200g load, even out to 800 yards. For A coyote load you could not go wrong with the 125g BT at 3950fps. It will vaporize a milk jug at 100 yards, imagine what it would do to a yote????

Are you hunting or shooting targets. It just depends what you want in a load and what your shooting with it. I want to shoot the heaviest bullet I can, whereas you may be looking for speed with a lighter bullet. I have only used retumbo in my ultra, so my only suggestions may not be too helpful. I had the best accuracy with around 90gr ret with a 210 berger. I don't want to shoot a deer with the berger though so I shoot the 220 MK with 89.3 grains. Gives very close to the same accuracy. I could not get the 200 accubond to shoot as well in my gun. I got up to about 93 grains with it. A lot of people like the 180 accubond or 178 amax. Don't know if that was much help.

If your wanting a long range load, skip the light stuff and go straight to the 200 gr+ bullets. I'm currently working on the 240 SMK. It looks like 85 gr of Retumbo is the load I'm going to try. Should be around 2850 fps. Not that fast, but I think the ES and SD are going to be close to nothing and the accuracy will be .5 MOA. I'll let you know what if find out!!

I am shooting Barnes triple shock 168grn out of my rem sendero. I bedded the factory stock and replaced the trigger with a Rifle Basix trigger. The rifle shoots 1/2 moa with those bullets pushed by 92grn of Retumbo. I don't remember off hand what the velocity is. I also tried 165 grain Swift Scirocco's and could not get them to shoot sub moa groups. Have not tried heavier bullets.

Worse yet....IMAGINE...what it's doing to the throat of your barrel!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I only load tested 2 loads of 3 rounds each, so 6 shots to find a 3/4" load at 100 yards. Then I loaded up 10 shells. Never did find a yote to shoot at, and to tell ya the truth, I never wanted to feed it a steady diet of them. Just wanted to work up a quick load. A barrel burner for sure. That 150g at 3650fps is a burner as well. I love to try all sorts of bullets is all.
