[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2636535, member: 48043"] A quick search on Hodgdon's site shows us869 at 88gr compressed with a 230 in a 300prc. I suspect you would be seriously compressed with h50bmg before you pressured up/out. I'm running 102 rl50 in my 300rums with a 225 hdy hpbt and am rather compressed. I prefer rl33 (95gr.) since it hits the same 3000fps without being compressed. It'll go bang I'm sure, but you are on the edge of having enough case capacity for stick 50bmg powders to work well. Set her back a few turns and re-chamber to 300rum and all would be fine, but that's it's own headache as rum brass is spendy now. [/QUOTE]
