Anybody tried RL33 or 4000 ?

[WYO300RUM]

In a 300 RUM , 300 Win Mag , 7 mm Rem Mag or 6.5 PRC ? I got a pd. of both along with some 8133. Can't get my hands on RL26 but would appreciate any info on the powders in the rounds mentioned above.
I have tried 8133 in 300 RUM . Retumbo better for me. Have loaded 8133 for 6.5 PRC but not shot yet.
Thanks in advance!

I load RL33 for 300RUM with 230 OTM ( 1st test was today, 2nd test tomorrow) and 200gr Accubonds.
28 Nosler and 175gr Elite Hunter.

Have used it in 26 Nosler but have switched to H50BMG.

I just bought some Berger Elite 185.im slowly getting into the heavy bullets.. 190 vld the heaviest I've shot in 300 rum so far. After reading all the posts I'm getting into heavy high bc.

I briefly played with R33 and the Sierra 175 SBT for a tad over 3000fps. rifle had a 26" barrel. Easy work up, terrific accuracy. I've only used Retumbo in the 300 RUM and 200 NAB.

I just shot 180 gr. E-tips with 100 and 101 gr. in Norma brass with WLRM primers.
26" Rem factory barrel. FPS was 3173 and 3199. accuracy was so-so but I was really just checking for pressure and fps.

For bullets under 215gr, I use H1000. For my 230 Hyb round, I use Retumbo. Was going to try RL33, but get 3113fps and low .2MOA accuracy with Retumbo. So if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That's what I should probably do. I've been using Retumbo for years and like it. Nothing so far is as accurate or has the velocity that I've tried in my 300 rum. Thanks !

Ok,
Rl33 gets the thumbs up in my 300rum with 230gr OTM

Reloader 33 is my powder in my 338 Lapua with 250 MK........very good!

 

[TJAY]

Yes it was a 300 RUM.

96.5 gr. Retumbo did 3247 fps.

91.5 R-26 in Rem case with CCI 250 did 3361 with 180 TSX and no pressure signs and was accurate enough to be encouraging.

I've played with 4000MR in a 7RM with 150gr bullets and found reasonable accuracy at about 3,050-3,100 fps over 62-63 grains of powder.
