[QUOTE="aaroncarp, post: 968001, member: 80044"] I have a basically bone stock 300 RUM m700 sps with maybe 180 rounds thru it. I just added a blackhawk axiom stock to help reduce recoil and to upgrade from the cheapy plastic one. Anyways I have had some problems developing a load for it. I know im going to want to shoot berger 210s out of it but right now im developing a load with 208 amaxs.. Im struggling to find a load that will do better than an inch at 100 yards. For what I need, an inch will work, but from what I have read, similar guns are shooting 5/8" groups right out of the box. I am hoping the gun can do 1/2 moa or better. I have gotten 2 loads to shoot at about an inch, 90 grains of retumbo and 90.3 grains of retumbo both with Amaxs and 3.600" overall length and remington 9-1/2 magnum primers. (i use the gun primarily as a hunting rifle so I will sacrifice a little accuracy in order to fit in the magazine). Im wondering if I should forget load developing with the amax and move straight to the bergers with the same loads and see if my groups improve. Otherwise, I am new to reloading and any suggestions would be helpful to actually get this load development somewhere. Also, what are your loads that work well for similar guns? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
