Reloader 25 in 300rum

[Justin Todd]

Just wanted to know your experiences with reloader 25 and 300 RUM? I've used some 8133 not really impressed so far. Been waiting for about 5 months to get my hands on some retumbo emailed hodgdon and they said it would be available late February and now it's getting close to April and still none so was going to try some 25 but I've had temp sensitivity issues with 22 and have read that 33 is temp sensitive as well.

What bullet weight are you going to be using with Reloder 25?

 

[Justin Todd]

208 eld-m

I think my barrel is weird, I am loading Reloder33 with 200gr AB.

Reloder 25 was next on the list to try right after I found out Reloder33 was very accurate, so I stopped testing.

So you had reloader 33 did well for you? You mind sharing some data?

We have been working with Re-33 and the 208 ELD-M, achieving good results. Re-25, is just a tad too fast for this case and the heavier bullets.

Retumbo is stupidly unavailable except for a few of the LGS which will not ship so I've switched to Norma 217 with a good start for acceptable beginning results. There is a learning curve, as with all powders untried in an existing system. N-570 is one of the powders I really like when we're concentrating on low mileage hunting rifles.

What did you use as a start load 90-92grains?

 

[tbrice23]

Yes.
Pretty sure I started at 92.0. I couldn't find a lot of load onfo for 200 Accubond and Reloder 33 so I started very low. Everything was sub- MOA until it pressured up then the groups really focused up.
I'm running a Wyatt's mbe-3 extended mag box so they are seated very long at about 3.790".

Cool thanks looks like I will try reloader 33 instead and see the results. Only decent load I got with the IMR 8133 was 88.5 gr with a coal of 3.80 they grouped well with a single digit SD but only running about 2850fps any more powder and the es was off the charts as well as the groupings were huge.

Make sure you buy Reloder33 not Reloader 33. Lol;)
