[QUOTE="rcdinaz, post: 547583, member: 31581"] Agreed with above, 88 gr is light and not near max from the load data I have had. Also, I am in AZ and have shot mine when it was 118 out. If I can't get to a velocity that someone posted at that temperature then their chrony is broke, they are full of it, or their barrel is at least a couple inches longer than mine. I will tell you I just switched over to H1000 in both the 300 RUM and a 7mm Dakota and my ES across the board is much better and the velocities are not much different. It seems at least in hotter weather the H1000 is a bit more stable. Of course this is only one variable I did not test different primers or in cooler weather. I am shooting the 190's in the RUM and 180's in the 7mm. I agree with trebarks recommendation the RUM' seems to like heavier bullets, I have shot mine all the way down to 150's and while okay I got more of the occasional random flier with the light stuff.
