[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1050677, member: 16938"] What have you tried and what are your expectations? Is your rifle custom or factory? There are a ton of RUM shooters around here that can give advice, myself included, but we need to know what you're trying to do. If it's a quality firearm, or if your barrel is decent, it's about finding what it likes. I've had rifles that take a little tinkering to get going and I've had rifles that shoot about everything well. With a RUM you want to find your load with as little tinkering as possible to save barrel life. My 300 RUM is a picky eater, but it loves what it loves and that's 85.2 grains of H1000 in Norma/Nosler brass with a Fed 215M and a 230 grain Berger Hybrid at .060 off the lands with single digit ES around 2880 fps. I've tried other combinations to include RL33 at 3100 fps and Retumbo to pick up an extra 75 fps, but 1/4 MOA is hard to ignore, even if I'm leaving some velocity out there. [/QUOTE]
