Are you a reloader??
I have been doing a ton of load development for my sendero 300RUM. So far I really like the 210gr bergers with retumbo powder and federal 215 primers.
I have played around with 180gr scirrocco's, 175gr bergers, 185gr bergers, 190gr bergers, 210gr bergers, 208gr A-Max. Powders as follows, retumbo, ramshot magnum, RE22, RE25, US869, Magpro, H1000. You also need to think about experimenting with your bullet seating depths. I was thinking about also trying some 240gr SMK's. Am getting ready to do some modifications to my gun, going to install a wyatt extended box magazine, either jewell or timney trigger and last a nightforce rail and rings. Am heading out in the morning for some more shooting, the Idaho weather has been very unpredictable. Shoot me a PM with more questions.

whats this retumbo im hearing about

 

[rugerdog5]

It's a hodgdon powder one of the slower burning powders

 

[stress-relief]

I acquired some 175 grain Berger VLD hunting bullets (freebees). I thought I would play with them in my 300 RUM. Does anyone have a good load for this particular bullet that I can use as a starting point? I want to use Retumbo powder. I would start at a lower powder charge and work my way up.
Thanks

Just finished developing a 200gr Accubond load and ended up with 88.5 grains of Reloader 25 and Winchester LRM primers. 3110 fps and exceptional accuracy. Sub MOA at 500 yards, two four shot groups.
Sako action, Christensen/Shillen barrel, muzzel brake

I always had the best luck with RL-25. I think that my best load was rl-25 94.5 gr with a 180 accubond.

 

[skma]

rl-25 94.0grs fed 215 primer 168 gr barnes tsx at 3368fps, 88.0 grs with the 180 gr tsx same powder at 3148+ fps, havent tried any other powder. RL-25 produces quarter sized holes in my stock xcr remy 700

 

[SomeRumbum]

96.0 grains of RE 25, 180 Nosler Accubond, Fed 215 primers. Great results in multiple 300 rums.

I too just bought .300 ultra sendero, I am having good results with 208 A-MAX and 210 Bergers both 90 grs. retumbo rem 9 1/2 primers. Both loads around 3/4 of an inch at 300 yds.
