    Changing Powder Lots

    I may be off base, but in my experience making minute changes in powder charge doesnt do much unless you are at or near max charge (when loading for 30 caliber magnum cartridges) - what I am looking for is a powder that gets me to max pressure at close to a 100% load density. I have had better...

    Hornady 208 A Max for 300 RUM???

    Jim, I dont have any data yet on the 208 AMAX, sorry, but I am shooting some this weekend if weather permits and will fill you in on my results if they will help. I have tried 210 VLD Bergers, 220 SMK's and 200 Nosler Accubonds, adding this AMAX to the mix, as the gunsmith I used to build my...

    Barnes varmint grenades

    36 gr Varmit grenades and the 223 I have a Rem LVSF in 223 that usually shoots 3/4 moa, with an occasional 1/2 moa, I tried them out in Lapua brass and H322, 1/2 moa at 100 yds all day long on a calm day - shot the same load two weeks later in a switching 5-10 mph wind and i was shooting 3/4 to...

    Bergers for Grizzley Bears

    That would be the infamous burger cannon, I am sure. 1/4 pound bullet at 5 FPS doesn't do a lot of good either. I can (just about) run this fast, with a figure built by burgers. For shame, bringing up baiting, someone could get kicked out of a living room for bringing that up.... :eek::D. EZ

    Bergers for Grizzley Bears

    First of all, good luck! That sounds like a very good time to be had, congrats on getting the draw / tag. I shoot the Bergers in my 300 RUM, and I have never shot a bear with them... that being said, I don't mind shooting big deer with them, or maybe a hog, since I have very, very good shot...

    SOLD/EXPIRED WTB New Nosler Brass 300RUM

    No, I wouldn't characterize my statements as saying that Nosler has changed their brass - I don't know. I have two different lots of brass cases for 300 RUM, one of which is much softer than the other. Thus, I am giving Nosler the benefit of the doubt, that instead of producing uniformly soft...

    SOLD/EXPIRED WTB New Nosler Brass 300RUM

    Nosler Brass issues Guys, I think what Roy means is that Nosler brass, in my direct experience, has produced and sold at least one lot of very soft brass in 300 RUM, so soft that after two loadings of a (not maximum) load, the primer pocket was too loose to reload.... ala my previous...

    300Rum start load help

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question... JPH - C.O.A.L. stands for Calculated Over All Length, as I understand it. It refers to the length of the loaded round, in this case 3.671 inches. This info is useful in whether you can run this out of your magazine / box for loading...

    problem with O.A.L. and pic's of new rifle

    Noticed the same issue with my 300 RUM My smith chambered my barrel to shoot 30 caliber 200 gr & up pills, but when I go to 210 Berger VLD's, my OAL is way out there. I believe that its a characteristic of the Bergers, as 220 SMK's work fine, with a shorter OAL. I am sure it has to do with the...

    If you could only have 3 rifles

    Keeping in mind that this is a big game list... 1.) 25-06 2.) 300 RUM 3.) 375 APS (just because I already have a 300 RUM, and the 338 is too close in caliber, so I got to go with the 375). EZ

    How Much Does it Cost...

    Hmmm 300 RUM Here is my cost for components: Primer: .03 each - Federal GM215M Powder: 0.30 per round for Retumbo Case: 0.20 (assuming I can get five reloadings, my cases are a $1 each - Nosler brass) Bullet: 0.45 ea for 220 SMK Grand total: just shy of $1 per round.... this of course...
