I am looking at the reloading data sent to me from berger.
I have finally decided on a bullet weight, now I have to decide on a powder to use. Looking at the data for the 185gr berger bullet, the top performing powders are Retumbo, RE-25, Ramshot Magnum and RE-22. I have heard alot of good stuff about Retumbo, but you have to use alot. I have heard the Reloader powder is temp sensitive. I have not heard anything about Ramshot Magnum powders???
It also looks like the Norma MRP2 is pretty good too.
But what it doesn't list is what powders had the best accuracy. This is for a 300RUM
I know I am going to have to play with bullet seating depths, getting as close to the lands as possible.
Anyone have any opinions on these powders???
Thanks
Chuck
