[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 390736, member: 11717"] JWP, I didn't say anything about powder charges in my post. I said the GS bullets will get higher velocities with lower pressures than other bullets. I didn't mention anything about powder. In fact, I believe a slightly faster powder would be better with the GS bullets than other bullets of similar weight. Meaning, one can produce better velocities with the optimum powder for the bullet. In my case, I can get 3400 fps with 180 E-Tips with Retumbo. I would expect to get a higher velocity with the 177 GS bullets and Retumbo and even better with other powders like H1000 or RL17. I have a hunch that RL17 will work very well with the GS 177's in the 300 RUM. Just a hunch. Bottom line, you will (should) get better velocites with the GS bullets and equal pressure and if you split the difference, you will get a little better velocity with less pressure from the same rifle.
