.300 RUM w/200gr Accubonds

[Overkill338]

Components are sold out around here, but at my buddy's gun shop, he had three boxes of 200 grain Accubonds. He let me have them for $30 each. I always liked this bullet in my .300 Win Mag, so I'm happy to try them in the RUM.

I'm interested in hearing any pet loads you may want to share. Especially if they were in a stock barreled 700 Long Range.

Thanks in advance !

Thanks. But if everyone just searched old ****, no new posts would ever come to be, and the forum would be quiet and boring lol

When I had one and 200 accubonds they shot well with 7977 and magnum.

Have any retumbo? That is pretty much the classic RUM powder. Just a guess but I would say you end up between 90-92gr. That seemed to be pretty common in threads.

I was running 91.5 in remington brass, going to swap over to nosler brass and see where I end up.

Been trying for 3 days, cant find any Retumbo, H1000, or RL25. A friend in Colorado is selling me his RL25.

I did find US879 at my friends shop, but velocity looks low.

RL25 or Retumbo with them seated at mag length was what worked 10 years ago for everyone.

91.5grs Retumbo for 3150fps in my factory barrel, obviously work up from 89grs or so

88 grains of retumbo, 230 grain berger is money for me. Rifle is a stock Rem 700
2886 out of muzzle if I remember correctly.

And Remington Brass.

I use rl-33 with 200 accubonds in my 300 rum. That was my Alaskan moose load, I'll probably be switching to a 180 grain load.

180 CoreLokts shoot great out of mine. Built a decent load using the 220 ELD-X but going to try the 190 ABLR to see if it bugholes like the CoreLokts.

Haven't tried them in my rum yet. Worked great in my 338. 87.gr h1000 is working good in my factory 300 rum. Shot at a 1000 the other day. Berger 210 vld hunting

300 RUM => ADG Brass, Fed215, H1000 @ 89.2, OBL 3.095 (approx .050" off lands) equals a .3MOA load for me in a hunting rifle at 3090fps @ 3000'MSL with about 72 degrees outside. YMMV
