[QUOTE="jmden, post: 315709, member: 1742"] "FWIW, One LRH member regularly feeds his 300 RUM 104.0 grs of US 869 driving a 240gr SMK." This may be me you were referring to, Chopaka81. Just to clarify, that was an 8 lb. jug of US869 that, from what I've seen otherwise, seemed to be very slow powder. A new jug I just opened is much faster and if I loaded my old load of 104.5 or 104.2, I'd be in trouble territory real fast. I'm down to 103.2 with the new powder and still don't like what I see in terms of pressure and velocity is nearly 80fps slower at about 2920fps (with pressure signs) with the 240. Thinking of switching to 210 Bergers... Point is, don't try the 104 grain loads... [/QUOTE]
