[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 292411, member: 11717"] BH, I would think you should be getting more velocity with those 185 Bergers out of your 300 RUM with H1000. How long is you barrel? You might try some Retumbo or different bullets. You should be getting about 3200 or so with 200 gr bullets and well over 3300 with 180 gr bullets. Like AZshooter said, most 300 RUM loads require a slower burnng powder. In the case of the GS HV 177's, I am expecting velocites of 3500-3600 fps and a faster burning powder than Retumbo will probably work best for them. I'm plannig on giving RL17 a try with them, but dont really know what to expect. It is interesting though, that for about 6% more increase in velocity (200 fps: 3200fps vs 3400 fps) for a 180 bullet you need a 42% increase in powder in the RUM. Kinda makes you wonder... [/QUOTE]
