[QUOTE="freebird63, post: 390022, member: 22102"] My gun is a sendero 300RUM, after seeing everything I have on bergers I knew they were the bullet for me, now it was just whether my gun would shoot them? My wifes 300SAUM loves 150gr accubonds. I started out with 185gr bergers, then went to 190's and settled in with the 210gr bergers. I must say all along I have been hung up on speed, but kept telling myself speed is not as the best or the most accurate, with that said I started messing around with my bullet seating depths. With the 185's and 190's they seem to like being seated around .020 off the lands, the 210's seem to like .030 off the lands. Now I have only shot out to 100 yards with my load development, thou I did shoot a popcan at 600 yards with a 190gr berger. But I like the idea of the high BC of the 210's and them being less effected by the wind then a lighter bullet. With a friends chrono I am getting right around 3100 fps with the 210's and retumbo powder, also had good results with H1000 powder and RE22 powder. But I think as retumbo is the most temp stable powder I am going to stick with it. I am waiting for the gunsmith to finish my gun, had the trigger lightened up and a wyatt extended box magazine put in and then I want to put a nightforce rail on it and get rid of the dual dovetail rings. Once hunting season gets here I should have a gun that will be accurate to 1000 and maybe beyond. Good luck with your development. Chuck [/QUOTE]
