[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 266881, member: 10"] One more consideration, I chamber my rifles to feed through the 3.820" Wyatts box. With your load seated loads, if you consider the amount of case capacity that the 300 gr SMK takes up with 100 thou seating depth, its noticable and would certainly add some to the top performance level you will get. If you have a barrel on the fast side with these long loaded rounds, I do not see why 2900 fps would be unrealistic. Just keep track of your firings per case and that will tell you more then anything with pressure. The nice thing about the RUM case is that it will show you pressure sooner with primer pockets loosening up sooner then say a Lapua case. That is not a bad thing, especially in a Rem 700 rifle.
