[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2880600, member: 10755"] I have oodles of experience loading for 300WM and 215’s, 2,900fps is doable in some rifles and not others. I have 5 such rifles and 8 barrels starting at 26” and going through to 32”. Most 26” barrels top out around 2,850fps unless you use a ball powder like 780. If you are lucky and get above 2,900fps, such as 2 of my 26” barrels that run right around 3,000fps, then you will be doing very, very well. The throats on those 2 barrels are well beyond .220” from the A191 chamber they run…so, this is where the extra velocity comes from. I’ve never used Ramshot Magnum, but have used H1000, RE25 and RETUMBO to reach 3,000fps in those barrels. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
