[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 379673, member: 11717"] I plan on trying the GS HV 177's in my 300 RUM. With that bullet, a little faster powder than Reumbo will probably work better, such as H1000. Retumbo was my go to powder for 180 E-Tips, 200 AB's and 210 Bergers. H1000 was right there with it, but I liked the Retumbo results a little better in *my* rifle. The GS bullets will fly faster with less pressure and my do very well with RL17. I would expect to see 3500 - 3550 with H1000 and maybe up to 100 fps more with RL17. There would be nothing in the 30 cal world that could match that performance if it happens... 3600-3650 fps with a .6 plus BC. This is just "educated" speculation, but I think it's doable. I have tried RL17 with 180 E-Tips in my 300 RUM and matched Retumbo and H1000 velocity. If you want to try it with the GS bullets, 80 grs would be a good place to start. I found max @ 87 gr and 180 E-Tips with my rifle. I suspect it would be a little higher with the GS bullets. -Mark [/QUOTE]
