[QUOTE="jmden, post: 29227, member: 1742"] Thanks, sakofan and JS/NH. I think my most accurate load nearest the speed I want will be about 94 grains of RL 25 with the 200g A-frame at about 3075fps. Not quite the speed I was hoping for (3150fps). Getting extractor marks on every other case or so at 96.5g RL25 at about 3170fps on average This is a stock Rem. 700 in LSS. I see some folks are getting closer to 3200 fps with the 200g Accubond. Might look at that as it seems like a good bullet and I've not been impressed with the A-frame in terms of uniformity, especially considering the cost. I'm not real experienced here but it seems to me that a 200g bullet out of the 300 RUM needs a slower powder than RL25 to optimize the case potential? The Accurate Arms manual using AA8700 at max 111. g with the 200 A-frame shos 3115fps, but that's compressed they say, although not too awful much when I stuck a 200g A-frame in a fireformed, neck-sized case with an OAL of 3.677 to fit in the magazine. H870 seems like it would be good, but it's no more... WCC-860?? Trying to find the magic powder to take advantage of this big case for this overbore chambering and a 200g bullet. Thanks for your help. [ 11-08-2003: Message edited by: Jon Denham ] [/QUOTE]
