[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 712323, member: 48043"] I'm not at full pressure as rl50 is to bulky to get there, hence the rl33. If you are getting 3000+ fps out of a 300 win with a 24 to 26" barrel and a 215-220, you are over pressure. No doubt about it. I've worked with 6 or 7 different 300 wins and they've all topped between 2750 and 2800 with 220's. I've run mid loads with I5010 and 180's out of my 300 rum at 3320 fps over my oehler or my ced, I had another 7 grains of I 5010 to go but the recoil was getting a bit stiff. The rifle doesn't have a break, so 3450-3500 fps with a bmg powder and heavier pills is a bit for prone or bench shooting. I simply do not push this rifle that hard, why should I? If I needed the extra I would go to the Warbird or 30-378 and get another 20 grain powder capacity and another 150 fps at reasonable pressure. I do not hate the 300 win but it is definitely a lesser round as far as capabilities. I've killed a bunch with my 300 win, and it is going out next week along with my 7stw(my rum is staying home), but I'm not buck hunting so it doesn't matter as long as said critter gets a hole through it.
