[QUOTE="300Ultra2016, post: 1216490, member: 97018"] Hello folks, I recently get into rifle hunting. Unfortunately, I got a Remington 700 chambered in 300 rum. I realized the difficultly to get the ammo after I got the rifle. So a huge amount of time and money have been put into reloading 300 rum. However, I feel pretty happy about it because I was able to learn a lot of news stuffs from reloading. The problem with the 200 gr ELD-X is that I cannot get a consistent group less than 5 MOA no matter how much powder I put in. I tried everything from 91GR to 86GR. I am currently using the H1000 powder. Here are my question: Since the 300 rum is a free-bore, does the bullet sitting depth still matter? The current overall length is set at 91.00 MM. I just made some ammo with the maximum length, which is 91.44 mm, I will try them today or tomorrow. If the changing the sitting depth does not help, should I try changing the powder? According to a document from Hornady official website, the recommend RL-25 and Retumbo.
