300RUM Velocities

95 gr h1000 was first group I shot

3363, 3358, 3380

Impressive is an understatement

What was strange though 95.5 and 96.0 were basically the same speed actually a few FPS slower I only shot one round of each just checking for pressure didn't hit any

Also loaded some retumbo 96, 96.5 and 97 one round each no pressure 96 gave me 3200 the other two didn't register I think it was getting too dark for my chrony by then

I'm placing another order for some 181s

Averaging 3000fps with 200gr Nosler partition with 91.5gr retumbo book max according to Nosler volume 8. My volume 6 is showing 95gr max. Accuracy is .35" 3shot group. Is it worth working up toward the 95 chasing another 100fps? Kind of liking the speed keeps me within the optimum recommended bullet performance range out to about 725yards which is plenty for me.

I've found that sometimes on my
300 RUM reloads, the sweet spot is not always at the higher end. If you found a load that your having good results with
I would stick with it and call it good.
