This is the final load result in 300WM Ruger M-77 Hawkeye that I worked up for my cousins rifle. The Accubond and Ballistic tip are virtually the same shape and share the same published BC numbers. RL-17 @ 68.7gr Win Brass 2.610 Fed 215M Nosler 180gr Ballistic tip COL 3.320, .467 off Velocity...

My first box of 300 RUM Nosler brass last year had two split necks in it. I called Nosler and emailed a cell phone picture of the necks and the lot number. They quickly replaced the brass and I've been happy ever since. The weight sorting they do is very good. That 50 count box has 41 pieces...

I've used the system with repeatable results in 19 rifles to date. However, with my 300 RUM a few days ago while measuring a 180gr E-Tip I ran into a very frustrating condition. Due to the shape of the bullet and where it contacted the lands or throat I was getting huge variables. It was...

The only lighter bullet I've tried in the Ruger was a 155gr VLD. It shot well over BL-C(2) but I went with the heavier 175gr load as my winner. The Hornady brass listed was their Match brass. It appears to be a polished Winchester product. Once sized and trimmed it weighed the same as...

I load for a friend with your Remington model. His rifle does well with the 175gr SMK's and Winchester brass. My personal pet load is: 175gr Berger VLD 44.4gr RL-15 CCI-BR2 Lapua brass 2.845" 2595pfs out of a 20" barrel 175gr Berger VLD 44.8gr RL-15 CCI_BR2 Hornady Match brass 2.805"...

I shoot a McMillan TAC 338 Lapua and have developed three great shooting repeatable loads. A 300gr Berger over Retumbo at .015 off the lands shooting 2720fps isn't setting speed records but it is very accurate. The 285gr TSX over Retumbo shooting 2840fps is a great shooter, my best 500 yard...

I have three boxes of Nosler Brass for the 300 RUM, all with the same lot number. I use CCI-250's but didn't have any issues with seating the primers. Since your uniformer fit with no problem I would assume your primers are slightly out of spec, I've heard of this before. A quick check with...

I'm new to this forum. I've participated in the Alaska Hunting forum for a few years. I load my 300 RUM with Nosler brass and it's worked quite well. Some people say it is manufactured by Norma, I haven't confirmed that statement. I have not used any other brass for that rifle and case life...
