Anyone using the 230 Berger Hybrid in a 300 RUM?

What is your favorite powder and what kind of MV's are you getting (barrel length?)?

Using 230 hybrid with 100 gr of RL-33 velocity 2975 with 24" rechambered 300 win mag Rem takeoff barrel .

 

[MMERSS]

RL-33, comfortable 3171 fps, 30". ES is good loading right off the lands and increases significantly the further the bullet jumps. The powder seems sensitive (increased pressure) to freezing temperatures as reported by some.

I just started this thread. Check it out. I'm right at 20 thou of the lands. It seems to be the sweet spot for the target bergers. RL33 103 - 104 grains (not done laddering yet), Benchmark 27.5 , High 3100 maybe 3200 (no chrono yet)

RL33, 32" Broughton 5C, 3,240fps

91gr. of Retumbo behind 230gr Berger Hybrids at 3070fps through a 28" Brux barrel.gun)3/8" groups consistently at 100yds.

until he finds a # of rl33....

kidding.... I use retumbo too


as for the 300 rum load
225 hdy- will likely switch to Berger in due time as hdy isn't making this pill for a while
95 rl33
3000 fps in 26" factory tubed lh bdl.... .6 moa accuracy as a stock rifle with no brake and regular hard rubber pad.
