[QUOTE="6.5-300 BEE, post: 1886226, member: 113845"] I guess someone missed that my RUM has a 36", 3 groove Nitrided barrel ---- a very slippery tube. Amazing that one can deduce I am over pressure w/o ever putting a transducer on MY rifle. In 60 years of handloading I have never seen an unsafe load that did NOT result in higher bolt lift. swollen case head and enlarged primer pockets. My Norma cases are on load #8. They were uniformed, never FL sized, have tight pockets and yet to need trimming. Ken Waters never led me astray. IMHO H-1000 is too fast for the 338 RUM w/heavy bullets. I've tried every magnum powder available. The fastest in MY RUM are (decending) RL33, H869 and Retumbo. [/QUOTE]
