[QUOTE="mhamlin, post: 1092979, member: 68822"] Speed vs Accuracy? Factory Rem 700 Long-Range Bolt-Action, chambered in 300RUM, muzzle-brake, Vortex Viper HS 6x24x50. Tried the following powders, with the Berger 215's, Rem brass and CCI 250 primers: IMR 7828 AA Magpro H1000 Retumbo US 869 Did seating depth tests, max pressure testing, and ladder tests. The most consistent load I have found is 88grains of H1000 and it works well at mag length and at .025 off the lands, but I am only at 2913 avg. speed. I can get 3000 fps with 89.5 H1000 at .025 off lands with good consistency, but it makes the gun a single shot. I was able to get much faster loads from the other powders, but the accuracy wasn't close to the H1000. At 1000 yards, will 87 fps make enough difference (energy) on an Elk, to warrant carrying a single shot vs. a repeater? Thanks, Mike [/QUOTE]
