[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1838273, member: 26477"] What bullet are you loading? Your ES isn't bad but you'll get lower sometimes by weighing your casings, which I always do, and keep those with close weights grouped together and load them. You can also check case volume if you have time to burn but it is a pain in your behind to do and equipment to do it is more expensive than the reward unless you are trying to shoot 2 miles away. You might try some other powders but I would stay with the Federal 215M primers and make sure you use ones from the same box in the group of rounds you test. Sometimes you will find your most consistent and lowest ES will come from lower speed loads with the 300RUM. It has been my experience that I get lower ES using higher grain weight bullets from 190gr-230gr out of my 300RUM. [/QUOTE]
