[QUOTE="CONatureBoy, post: 2968258, member: 118769"] I have a 300 RUM with a 28" Krieger barrel with 1:9 twist and a standard Palma contour on a blueprinted Rem. 700. Jewell trigger, Nightforce NXS scope. It shoots 199-grain Hammers into one ragged hole at 200 yards. About the same with SMK 220s and Berger 230s. Berger 210 VLDs nearly as good. All loaded close to the lands in a standard SAAMI chamber. The Nosler reloading manual says something like, "Our technicians were surprised to find near-benchrest accuracy" with their test 300 RUM. I had the same experience when I started shooting a Sendero SS in 300 RUM. The heavy barrel and scope reduce felt recoil a lot; I don't notice it in the field. I load all of the bullets I've mentioned to a bit over 3,000 fps, mild enough not to burn out the barrel faster than it does without any help. Reloder 33, Ramshot LRT, VV N570, all the usual suspects in powder. If you don't like carrying the extra weight, lose a few pounds. All of the advantages except weight accrue to the heavies. [/QUOTE]
