[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 850754, member: 11717"] Yes, I think it is in a proper sub-forum. It's nice to know some folks actually are concerned about that. I got some to try out in my 300 RUM, 6.5 WSM and 6-284. They are all very close in overbore capacity. I used light loads of it to break the barrels in but haven't done any load work with it yet. From my reading, RL33 will come close filling the case under a 230 Hybrid before maxing out. It might also be good for the 215 and larger bullets. I think it might be too slow for smaller bullets in the 300 RUM. The 7 RUM is a good bit more over bore, so I am guessing it should do well with the larger bullets but probably will not fill the case with them. With lighter bullets you would get more powder in the case. I know if I had a 7 RUM, i would definitely be giving it a go. Also, RL33 is a dense powder. You can get about 4 gr of it in a RUM case than you can Retumbo. I measured it. So expect a 100% density load to be about 103-104 gr. [/QUOTE]
