[QUOTE="djbeek, post: 472205, member: 28877"] I partially got the idea to go with a Savage because of the "[SIZE=2]Long Range Hunting Rifle On A Budget" article. I had never been a Savage "fan" but with the long standing accuracy claims, recent improvements like the accutrigger, the ease of barrel change and the price.... I thought that the ones that were built for the 300 RUM had longer boxes. Anyway the online Hodgdon data says the same 89g charge of both H1000 and Retumbo is max with a 220 partition. The minimum 83/84 g. The Retumbo has a slight edge in velocity. I've had people get concerned when I said I wanted to seat bullets "on" the lands, but that appears to be the starting point for bergers. Thanks for the advice about the 100 yard/1000 yard load work up. That will save me some money/time. I have a Ruger Alaskan in 375 Ruger that I love and am hoping for some more stuff on a 7mm/30-375 Ruger. I have a 30" 7mm/9 twist McGowen barrel blank wainting in the wings. Got to love the name of that 338 SIN.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
