[QUOTE="jmden, post: 280113, member: 1742"] Sounds like you're stuck. Might try the 215's as suggested. I've seen 869 recently listed as an extreme powder on their site, but I don't think it is. I've burned through 8 lbs of it (and a barrel :) ) shooting 240's and 200AB's in the 300 RUM. I try not to shoot in temps above about 50-60 as I've noticed the velocities take a 50fps or so jump at that point. Right now I'm shooting 104.2g for MV's just under 3K (~2994 or so) with fed 215M's and on the lands. Might be a bit more capacity in my case than some as I use a Redding comp shellholder of +.010 to get the fit I want and am shooting with the 240 on the lands using the 4" Wyatts box. ES is ok at right around 20 fps if I take out the lowest and highest velocity in the string first. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
