[QUOTE="wildcat455, post: 1863501, member: 102653"] Worked up a load for the 208 ELDM in my 300 RUM. Started with the 208 primarily because it's a little less expensive to shoot, wanted to see if this barrel would shoot without wrapping too much into it, and I had plenty of them. I PM'd a couple guys here for a start. Have about 60 rounds down the tube, shooting about 10 per development session. Found a load pretty quick with the help of a few here. 92.5 gr Retumbo 208 Hornady ELDM Norma Case Fed GM215M CL 2.840" BTS 2.463" BTO 3.030" COAL 3.775" 3200 FPS Accuracy isn't bad, but it's not that great, either. I'm not really looking to this rifle to shoot these that well anyway... Now ill go to the 215 BHT, then to the 230 gr A TIP, just to see if they will shoot. Might have to play with some lesser bullets if they don't like my 10 TW barrel...but as long as I'm up above 220 gr+ ill be ok. [/QUOTE]
