[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 867136, member: 5219"] Max Heat, IME your bullet is too light for RL-33. It will work with a 7 RUM with 180s and when Berger gets it produced, the 195. I have used it extensively and it only seems to work best with the heaviest bullets for caliber. So far have tried 180s in 7mm/375 Ruger, 230s in 300 RUM, 110s in 257 weatherby, 105s in 6mm-284. Tried it with a 162 a-max in a 7 rem mag and it didn't beat Retumbo, actually ran out of powder space just like you did with your 7 Rum. I'd say it WILL work well with a 300 gr bullet in a 338 RUM but doubt there an advantage with a 250 gr bullet. [/QUOTE]
