[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 1059112, member: 42157"] I'm a little different. I shoot a RUM for one reason and one reason only....VELOCITY!!! If I have to back it down to 300WM speed to get accuracy then I would shoot a 300WM. There are different calibers available for different velocity no reason to back it down. Here is what I do with all my rifles. Load up several different powders and primers behind the bullet I want to shoot 10k off lands or OAL that will fit in the magazine. Usually will be about 20-25 different loads. Then I run up to the wall and a little more. Once I know where the max is for the different combos I check the accuracy of the first run. If it does not shoot in the accuracy range I expect -1" at 100 with it's best loads at or near max + velocity I don't waste any more time with that bullet. I move on to a new bullet and start the process again. If it has potential to shoot that bullet I take the best loads, and start adjusting, one thing at a time. Not uncommon to burn up 100-200 bullets just fine tuning the best one before loading for the shelf. I have had good luck finding a bullet that will shoot as well as I want at max + velocity in the gun I have. [/QUOTE]
