[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 1327646, member: 17112"] If you trust your chronograph then I agree...2989 is a little slow for that combo. From what I've read people are seeing better velocity with RL 26 compared to H1000 in most cartridges. What kind of velocity were you getting from the H1000/185 combo? What kind of chrono are you running? I've helped a friend with reloading for his 300 RUM and he got 3065 from the 215 Berger Hybrid and H1000. Using my rule of thumb of ~100fps/10gr of bullet weight I would say you should see 3150-3200 plus out of your gun. If you try a couple more of the H1000 combo over your chrono and they are also abnormally slow then you may have a slow barrel. Other than that keep working up slow and make sure to stay safe.
