[QUOTE="loaders_loft, post: 294294, member: 10540"] Looking for advice on a powder choice for a friend's 300 RUM. I have 180grain ballistic tips and accubonds, with WLRM primers. Although I have several powders on hand, this HUNGRY cartridge limits me to only a few powders that I have over 1Lb on hand. These are: H4831sc H1000 (limited to only about 1.5Lbs) Retumbo Looking at the Nosler manual, H4831 is relatively "slow", 3089-3205fps. H1000 is also "slow", 3089-3225fps. Retumbo is among the fastest velocity range, at 3204-3343fps. However, Retumbo is 99-103% load density. (I do have a long funnel for these situations:D ) ps. Also have a box of 180gr TTSX, which will probably require a different load altogether... Input appreciated. [/QUOTE]
