[QUOTE="30calyooper, post: 1535878, member: 107258"] I have heard that RL-26 is a strong and accurate powder for this cartridge. If it performs anywhere near as well as it does in my 7mm RemMag (top vels with heavies, very good accuracy) than it's certainly worth testing! I simply haven't gone further than RL-25 because it gives me over 3200 FPS with a 200-gr Accubond and consistently groups 1/2 MOA at 400-500 yards. Same with a Swift 180 Scirocco II at 3400. Not sure a shaky old guy like me can shoot any better than that! No doubt the 300 RUM is impressive in terms of power and accuracy, but it's not the cheapest round to load and shoot! Worth it to buy quality brass (I've had good results with Norma) and the 215 Match primers - they have been available in Michigan since last spring, but I stocked up and have not checked back since then. Try Jay's Sporting Goods in Gaylord, MI. [/QUOTE]
