I was hoping for 28". Hope to get 3400 fps. or a little better.
Sounds good. The only powder I'm interested in is Retumbo since it has performed so well in all my buddys' 300 RUM's. Thinking about having Savage chambering one in their precision varminter and adding another 2" to the barrel. Should be a dandy.
Well put!Every rifle will be different. One might like Retumbo and another H1000 or something else They may like different bullets also. I am trying 5 different combinations of powder and bullets to see which my rifles like's best. With a cartridge like the 300 RUM, you really are better off with going with a heavier bullet unless your rifle like's the 180's best. For lighter bullets, faster powders like H1000 are sometimes a better choice (more efficient) than Retumbo. Retumbo is a slow buring powder more suited for longer barrels and heavier bullets. Something to think about.
