[QUOTE="brianwinzor, post: 691589, member: 1067"] Based on your experience of RL 50 in the 300 RUM with the 225 gn Hornady it appears to be a little slower burning than the AR 2218 that I am using. However, until you fire both in the same rifle with same bullet you can never be sure. I will contact the Australian dealer and see if he will procure some RL 50 (and RL 33) to be included in his next batch of powder that he imports to Oz. I understand the problems you had in trying to get over 100+ grains of extruded powder in the 300 RUM case. I used a 6 inch drop tube and seated the projectiles .020 short of the lands giving an overall length of 3.800 inches, which required single shot loading. If I was to load to .3660 which is the maximum if I run through the REM 700 magazine, I would be restricted to about 98 grains with the long 240 grain bullet. My 300 RUM is a standard REM 700 SPS, and when topped with Leupold mounts and Bushnell 6500 2.5 -16 x42 comes out at 8lbs 8 ounces. [/QUOTE]
