[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 939248, member: 63138"] Elkhunter1983 Yeah I have an update. I just finished load development for my 300 RUM with the 210 Berger. I shot a final target yesterday morning to allow me to zero the scope before I go play at long range with this load. The 3-shot group was exactly 0.500" at 200 yards which I am plenty happy with considering that the barrel is a factory surplus barrel. The load is: 97.0 gr of RL-33 in Rem brass, COAL = 3.800" which is about 0.010" off the lands, Fed 215 primers. This is giving me 3,000 to 3,040 fps out of a 26" tube depending on temp swings. The ES for any given shooting session usually approaches single digits. I have no pressure signs and the primers look good so I likely have some room to go faster but with it shooting this good, I'll just leave it alone. I'm also using RL-33 in the 338 RUM with the 300 gr Bergers. I'm running 92.8 grains in Rem brass or 92.0 grains in Nosler brass and getting 2,750 fps out of a 26.4" tube again with ES around single digits. The bullets are seated about 0.004" off the lands. To get the 92.8 grains in the case without crushing the powder I had to seat the bullets with the press mounted upside down. But this is it. Can't fit any more powder in the case and groups run about 1.5 inches at 200 yards. I can open the bolt with my little pinky so again no pressure signs. Too bad there is no more room in the case. I am considering throating the rifle for the 300 Berger which would let me jack it up to 2,850 fps I figure but I'll wait until I burn the throat out a little more. [/QUOTE]
