[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2682027, member: 48043"] The 300 rum would have been a far easier to load rifle if you want both speed and accuracy; a 300win would have come within a few fps either way of your goal with about zero fuss also. I'm running 3300fps with 180's and 3,000 fps with 225's in both of my 300rums. I also load for a buddy's Accumarck in 300roy, and it was a joke accuracy wise with anything lighter than 220 grain. The 225 hdy hpbt or 220 sierra hpbt with enough 7828 to pass 2700 fps is a stable and great performing load in this rifle. In a 300roy, you may be able to get 3200 fps from a 180, but that kind of speed with decent accuracy may well be a tall order. Retumbo may be your friend, but that powder is a bit hard to find lately. LRT or one of the 50BMG offerings may also do you well. I never really bothered to try to push 180's in his rifle since initial tries were pretty much a dumpster fire until we got to the heavies. [/QUOTE]
