[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 1008911, member: 9281"] I have an old Rem 721 300H&H with a 26" barrel. I cleaned it up and got it set up as the kids' deer and elk rifle. I am using the 215 Berger Hybrid pushed by 69.5 grains of H1000 at 2,670fps. I use Fed 215 GM primers and Norma brass. ES are usually around 7fps. Accuracy is very good for an old factory rifle at .75 MOA beyond 300 yards. Have taken it to 883 yards on paper and it holds up very well. In my experience with this rifle, it's not the equal of a 300 Win Mag with heavy bullets as some say. It's more between a .30-06 and 300 Win. I initially was just neck sizing but ran into some consistency issues with pressure. Bought a full length sizer and set it up to just bump the shoulder so it still chambers slightly snug. That fixed the consistency issues. I did try RL22, RL17, RL33, Ramshot Magnum and Retumbo. H1000 produced the best speed without excessive pressure. It was also the most consistent in accuracy and ES. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
