[QUOTE="Full Curl, post: 2603621, member: 47602"] Ran 15 rounds through a new barrel to break it in last week and results from my first load testing this week. Took at least 4 rounds for the barrel to settle in "F" holes (thinking I had it too clean). Anyway, after it settled in, I was pretty happy with it. Any thoughts as far as what charge to explore further? This will only be a hunting rifle. Just wanted to post and get some feedback from what some of you really experienced guys think? I'm far from a professional marksman. My goal is to develop as accurate a hunting load as I can while maintaining good barrel and case life, so I don't need to push max full throttle on this one (but it might be fun, ha). For some reason I couldn't get my MagentoSpeed to read any shots at this session so don't have any fps numbers. I did start to see some very slight ejector marks at 89.0gr so didn't shoot any of the 90.0gr or 91.0gr I had. Any feedback would be much appreciated. I'm pretty new to this caliber. Thank you! 300rum 24" 1:9" 220gr ELDX (.02 jump) H1000 [/QUOTE]
