I would appreciate any load data for the 300 RUM using the 230 grain Bergers and RE-33 powder that you could share. My son has came across some 230 grain Bergers and RE-33 powder. He is currently hand loading with the Berger 210 VLD's and Retumbo powder but would like to try the Berger 230 grain bullet as it has such a high bc and great down range energy retention.
Thanks in advance,
Brian
 
Depending on your barrel, you will land at3,000-3,100 fps with a top charge between 97 and 102 grains... My 225 hornady hpbt match are at 3,000 fps with 95 gr rl33 in my 26" bdl lh rifle in 300rum. I'd start around 90 and work my way up to speed and pressure.

A lot of guys are right off the lands with their loadings, but I am running mag length... about 3.650" in my rifle
