[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 735282, member: 5219"] I rechambered a 24" 300 win mag barrel to 300 RUM to try the 230s. My back ordered 8 lbs of RL-33 showed up the same time. I reported on the performance here a while back. I got excellent accuracy with the 230s with a random seating depth set so it would fit and feed from wyatt's mag box in my post 64 model 70. Worked up to over 100 gr of powder in the testing. Backed down to 100 gr for velocity of 2975 fps. Imagine this powder and bullet combo with a 26" or longer barrel! FYI my testing showed that RL-33 is slower than retumbo. I chose midrange to upper Retumbo loads as starting points in using RL-33. Got significant velocity gains over other powders in a 6mm-284(178 fps gain over max load of Retumbo with 105 berger hybrid, 3485 fps) and 257 Weatherby ( 91 fps gain over max load of RL-25 with 110 accubond, vel 3735 fps) [/QUOTE]
