[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 99183, member: 1403"] I am aware of accuratereloading. I browsed there and got quite a few loads as a starting point for quite a few of my 300 RUM loads. Especially with the 200g and 220g SMK's. And yes, they are getting some smoking velocities with it, and even there 338 RUM they tested. My primer pockets are starting to get loose, but there are R-P cases and they have been fired 6 times. I dont think I'm all to out of wack here. Just look on the can of REtumbo, it plainly says that 100.5g is MAX for a 180g bullet out of a 300 RUM. So I started at 99g and went to 100g. I was just letting ya'll kow the velocities that went over my screen. THey were very consistent. The extremem spread were only 15fps for the 99g load, and 18fps for the 100g load. IT's only gonna take me 1 coyote to find out if those 55g fmj's will work as well. IF the yote runs off, i'll try my best to plug him again thats for sure. i dont like them running off after being hit with any bullet. I will try for shoulder shots as I like shoulder shots on coyote-elk. If he still runs off, then I will go back to my 2 inch exit holes that the 55g btip at 3925fps leaves. Not much of a pelt saving load there. I dont like these 40g that much cuz there to **** fast, 4500fps. And after about 300 yards, if you dont get a solid hit on them, I fear they will run off.
