[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 76382, member: 1007"] First, have you fired your loads through a chronograph?? 2nd, Retumbo sometimes has a tendancy to beat up brass pretty good. No I dont know why. You may want to experiment with differant powders such as RL-25 or H50BMG if your rifle generates higher than normal pressures for a given powder type and charge. Make sure and start with a chrony. If your loads are within velocity standards, try another powder, if not back off. Retumbo will be somewhere around 20-30 FPS per grain in the 300 RUM. If you decide to try a differant powder and your velocity is less than max and still have the same problem, it could be the brass. Try new brass and if that doesnt help, look elsewhere. I am not sure where. I havent noticed Remington 300 RUM brass to be that bad. Also, have you tried any other primers? Hope that helps some. [/QUOTE]
