[QUOTE="7stw, post: 640528, member: 22854"] Anybody shooting 190 VLD in 300 RUM? I am sure that some one does, but shot some today in my Sendero. I was given a dozen or so to try , and decided to try a few in the 300 with 93- RL25, using 215 primer. OAL length was 3.645. This load was not hot , in fact, it was in the middle range in the Sierra book. Did not chrono this load, but it seems flat. When I shot it at 100' then 200' the measurement above POI was nearly the same at 200. Accuracy was amazing, but not surprising. These Bergers shoot. I had a .682 group at 200' and a .413 at 100. One thing I will say is when you touch the trigger, man, the recoil is stout!!!!! I am not recoil sensitive, but this one will let you know you are alive! It is definitely not a fun load to shoot from the bench. Any thoughts on this load, or possibly a better powder? I would like to do a little more research with this bullet. I like the BC, but may back it down a little, or maybe select a slower powder. ( P/S, the muzzle flash was awesome) .
