[QUOTE="Gary Morgan, post: 431458, member: 8580"] Hey, guys, I'm done. I went to the 500-yard range today and shot my 300 RUM with the 94 grain Retumbo load, 210 Berger and Winchester Large Rifle Magnum Primers. It was about 20 degrees hotter here today at about 11:30 a.m. CDST, about 85 to 87 degrees. I set up my 35P Oehler, got my gun sighted in on some clays at 500 yards and shot one three shot group over the chrono. It averaged 3,175 FPS with a 5 FPS ES and 2 FPS SD. THe wind was in my face, about 10 MPH straight on. The group measured 1.963 inches. The biggest change to my load was the Winchester primer, and I took off a 3.5x15x56 NXS and put on an 8x32x56 NXS, which made holding on the target much more consistent. I appreciate everyone's input. It all helped me get to my goal of 2 inches or less at 500 yards. I now feel like I can take 600 to 800 yard shots on deer with confidence and feel like I've put in enough work to legitimately take such a shot. Gary Morgan [/QUOTE]
