[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 104183"] JD While it wasnt a 300 Rum we were shooting it was the widlcat 300 Tomahawk. It sported a 34 in barrel and behind 100 grains of H1000 we were able to get the Berger 190's pushed at 3600 fps. You may be able to get to 3500 with the 180's it will take considerable load development as our 3600 fps probably came from the 34 inches and being able to hold 100 grains. Just for comparison we also shot the Berger 210 behind 100 grains of H1000 and got 3300, also used H50BMG at 100 grains too and dropped it to 3100 fps so around 200 fps faster is the H1000. Retumbo may net you what your after but I am not going to say you'll hit your 3500 figure as your barrel length may be subject to lower velocities. [/QUOTE]
