[QUOTE="Three44s, post: 1536742, member: 43573"] You guys are getting me all pumped up to get my Rem out and blow the dust off of it. I talked my nephew into a used 700 stainless with brass, ammo and dies a few years ago and bought a small shank varmint take off (stainless with a brake) about the same time for my Savage long actions. We have worked mostly with the nephew’s 700 and only a little with my Savage combo (I got a 257 STW barrel right about then parked the 300 RUM barrel since then). But I have this 700 in 300 RUM that may have never been fired. It came from a gun shop as used but I know the guy that sold it, I will have to ask him. Anyway, when I was getting geared to help the nephew with his project I rounded up a bunch of 215 primers and 4 # of Retumbo. We only loaded 7828 with the 215’s at about mid 85 gr levels pushing the Nosler 180 partitions (he is just a kid and no brake or good pad then). He ended up at .75” at 100. Since then he bought a HS Precision stock with a limb saver and got a brake installed. We have not loaded for it since and he has been running factory since the brake went on. This past season (Montana) he ran a 180 TTXS in a factory load through a 4x5 bull at 400 yds cross ways through the heart with the Barns bullet stopping under the hide on the far side. The bull went down in a heap and the now 20 year old “kid” has an even tighter death grip on his long range fire stick! We are going to get his rifle eating hand loads at first chance as he understands both the economy of it and the accuracy advantages but he is one busy young fellow. Three44s [/QUOTE]
