[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 441036, member: 2693"] While IMR4350 is one of my favorite powders of all time, it is NOT a great powder for a 300 RUM in my opinion. The case is just too big and 4350 is a medium burning powder. Sure you can get good loads with it but you are talking about a more narrow range of powder volume where pressure spikes are more likely. My suggestion: Get a slower powder more suited for this caliber. Re22, Re25, H1000, Retumbo, WC870, Magnum, or similar. Generally speaking, I think you are better off with a load where powder is 94% or higher. I prefer closer to 97% or higher myself. Good luck [/QUOTE]
