[QUOTE="sureshot300, post: 1217479, member: 34041"] I have a 300 RUM in Rem model 700. I will suggest you check the scope rings and mounts to be sure they are tight to specs. Also if you had the rifle out of the stock be sure to torque the bolts 50-60 inch pounds. As far as your load it should shoot 200 grain bullets well. Not sure what you clean your gun with but I use Barnes CR-10. This gun is very overbore and builds up copper very fast due to the heat on barrel. I clean my gun every 20-rounds thru barrel. I have load developed using Retumbo and RL25. My gun likes RL25 and I would suggest you give it a try if it's available in your area. My load is as follows: Rem brass Federal 215 mag primer 91.5 RL25 Nosler 200 AB, seated the length of magazine tongue 3100 fps, produces 1/2" 3-shot groups if I do my part Don [/QUOTE]
