Reloder 26 for 300 RUM

[jrob160]

Wondering if anyone has tried any reloder 26 in the 300 RUM? I will more than likely be using 215 or 230 berger hybrids in a sendero. Alliant doesnt list any load info for 26 in the heavier bullets. Thanks in advance for any info.

Give me your barrel length, COAL, and I will give you some predictions from quickload

 

[jrob160]

26" barrel.
Thanks

 

[Doublezranch]

I need your case over all length (COAL)

 

[jrob160]

Distance from base to ogive or actual OAL? Meplat vary so im not sure which you want

 

[Doublezranch]

Total overall length. I know meplats are variable...give me your "target" length. For instance, my 300 rum has a 3.98 oal.

 

[jrob160]

The 230 at the lands are 3.932 and the 215 are 4.025. Which seems backwards. I will try them jumping around .030 off to start

 

[Doublezranch]

230

 

[Doublezranch]

215

Doublezranch could you please run the numbers for mine with RL33 for my 300 weatherby I have a Mac so I can't run the software. Coal of 3.798 30" barrel with the 230gr Berger hybrids. Thanks again I would really appreciate it. Anthony

 

[Doublezranch]

Here you go..

Thank you. I am doing a Dave Kiff bore rider reamer so I was hoping to get around 3100 FPS but I will be happy with anything over 3000fps. Thanks again for the info.

I am running rl 26 in my 300 rum 26 in barrel 1in 12 twist with the 180 nosler ab & bt @ 3.655 oal, shooting real well the one time I chronoed I was getting 3276 fps would be interesting to see what QL said compared to mine

Thanks DoubleZ
