[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 691358, member: 48043"] Well, I haven't used much 50 browning powder that isn't mil-surp, so I don't know if 50 bmg is faster than rl50. I do know that 98.0 rl50 with the 225 hornady hpbt in the 300 rum is right at 2870 fps with mild pressure. 102.0 grain rl50 with the 225 hornady hpbt will net 3000 fps with normal pressure, but the powder compression is a bit heavy. I suspect a drop tube or a bit of vibration would help, but my brother loaded the 102 grain loads after I stopped at 98 so I din't have a chance to see for myself. Both charges were sub moa in a 9# sporter off sandbags with no brake. [/QUOTE]
