[QUOTE="freebird63, post: 572923, member: 22102"] I live in Idaho so our climate is alot like Montana, I had a 300RUM prior to the 280, I have become disabled and could no longer shoot the heavy recoil of the sendero 300RUM. I clearly came out very well on the deal. I was either hoping for a 7MM or a 280AI. When I first got my 300RUM I tried some US869 and that stuff was all over the board in low temps. I had talked to Aaron Davidson and he suggested 168gr bergers also. But being disabled with no income its kinda hard to justify or even coming up with the money for reloading supplies. As far as powders go I have a full jug of H4831SC, a little bit of H1000, almost full jug of H414 and a little bit of IMR 7828SSC. As soon as I can wrangle up the cash I want to buy a new set of dies, I have an old set of Lee die's and they scratch the heck outta the brass oh and I need to get some more brass. I wished I could find someone that had like 10 of the berger 168gr for me to try as I don't want to waste any money on something that won't shoot for me. Right now as far as bullets go I have like 2 boxes of the 140gr accubonds, 1 box of hornady SST 154gr. [/QUOTE]
