[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 121236, member: 4785"] Hi as others have said dont use lighter projectiles than 200gr in the 300 RUM you are realy wasting your time. At the long ranges they do not have the eneergy and are effected more with wind drift. The 200gr Accubond or 200go + Sierra MAtchKings are the go and in a 10 twist you may get the 240gr to shoot. I would look at a 9.5 twist so i could shoot everything including the 240gr Sierra and i would start there with bullet selection. I would also use Retumbo as a starting powder as it is fairly stable in all temperature. I would use 1 load only if the 240gr Sierra did not work the 220 surly would then i would only use it as stated above if you switch loads all the time you will never know where your zero's are and you will find it hard to get used to your wind drift.
