[QUOTE="hwy40, post: 501382, member: 26078"] Last fall I bought a Rem 700 SPS in 300 RUM. I bought dies (20+ years reloading), powder, and brass to start with. I haven't been able to get it to group inside of 3". I have loaded RL-22 with 180 gr B-tips from 92 - 98 grains with no good results. I switched to Retumbo and have loaded from 96-100.5 grains with the same results. I have some test loads ready to go with RL-25, 94,95 and 96 grains. I bedded the action and floated the barrel before the first shot. The only equipment issue I can think of is that it only weighs 7 lbs scoped and kicks like a freakin' mule. I have a nice bruise on my nose from this mornings range outing. Would a heavier stock help me here. I think I'm starting to flinch from the repeated knocks to the head. [/QUOTE]
