[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 789933, member: 48043"] If you believe the reloding books (who would do that?) you will top out between 3250 and 3350 fps for both the 300 rum and 30-378 roy. I'm at 3280 fps with a mid-load of rl25 with a 180 in my 26" 300rum, and have gone for more to prove it is there, but I'm in no hurry to tear up my bore. I'd switch to a bit slower powder like rl33 in your 30-378 and she'll probably come up a couple of hundred fps (to low/mid 3400's)and have good pressures yet. [/QUOTE]
