300 RUM loads.

[MallardAddict]

Rifle a.d.d. bit again and as such I have a 300 RUM enroute. My rifle is one of the EOL series so it has a 26" 1:10 and a 4" magazine box. The rifle is coming with a pile of Berger 215 hybrids so I may start there but was wondering if I'm better off trading the 215's for 230's.

I'm also curious about using the heavy eld-m's or eld-x's if anyone has experience with them as well.

I will probably use it for a little long range steel but mostly deer, elk and bear hunting.

I am an experienced reloaded and will work up to pressure in my gun then back my loads down some but was wondering what other posters are running in theirs and how they like it.

230's and RE33 seems to work well. Should run around 3k with a long coal.

If it's the carbon you bought from me, you better try 225eldms, too!

I just pick up a 300 rum also. It'll be coming on moose/griz hunt so I'll be loading 200 swift A frames. I run the 215 in my 300 win mag(2990 fps) with EXCELLENT results! But with the case capacity of the ultra I'd probably opt for the 230 (if you want max BC).

Im running the 225 eld-m at 2970 using a max charge of retumbo at mag length. Not a hot load but it hits freaking hard

 

[RH300UM]

230 otm at 3065 with RL26 ADG brass
230 otm at 3045 with Retumbo

215 hybrids at 3082 with Retumbo

This is my top 3 loads in my 300rum

I should add that it is a factory rifle. Purchased in 20 years ago. It needs a upgrade. It's been relegated to backup rifle for my Alaskan guide adventures. Using 200 grain Aframes

I use 180 grain scirocco over IMR 7828 and 215 M primers that chrono's at 3227 feet per second. Works great out to 1200 yards.

230 gr bergers and RL33 gave me the best combo of speed & accuracy. Mileage may vary.
