[QUOTE="Firecat, post: 1163477, member: 22600"] Hi all. Its been a long time since I posted on here. Long story short I finally cycled through my hobbies and landed on LR shooting again. This partly due to the fact that I couldn't find Retumbo for some time. I am shooting a 300 RUM Remington Sendero. Although the tube on this gun is fantastically accurate for factory, it must be tight. I say this because it will not put up the velocity numbers some of you are claiming and she tends to show signs of pressure early. For a while I was shooting 210 grain VLD's with good results. There were two problems with this load. One is that it liked them loaded to pressures I wasn't comfortable with(Flattening Primers.) Second is that those primers were flattening with a load 3 grains under max and were slow for my liking. I had them loaded with 89grains retumbo Federal 215 primers remington cases 210 Berrger Hunting vld's. Velocity was roughly 2900fps Accuracy at 100yds was around .250-.330 So that being said, I thought i would try a little lighter bullet and EUREKA! even better groups [URL=http://s85.photobucket.com/user/firecat_223/media/300RUM%20Target_zpsmvkdj00s.jpg.html][IMG]http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k55/firecat_223/300RUM%20Target_zpsmvkdj00s.jpg[/IMG][/URL] These are groups from load development. They are 4 shot groups at 100 yds. I am looking for advice for using these to shoot in the 1200 to 1500 yd range. Not for hunting but for target and stump thumpin. I would like to practice there in order to hunt the 600-1000 yd range. Thus keeping them in the desired velocity and energy range. Do any of you use these 190 grain VLD's for long range and what problems have you observed? There are no wrong answers here just looking for some direction and ideas. Thanks [/QUOTE]
