Hello all,
I went to the range this morning and shot some new loads for my 300 RUM. I made a few adjustments to the OAL and the signs of pressure seemed to go away. I moved the bullet .012 closer to the lands than where I had it with my first test load (total overall length is 3.60" and 2.98" to ogive)...I thought making a longer COAL would have made my signs of pressure increase? For instance, I am not seeing any ejector marks now and virtually no flattening of the primer.
The odd thing is my velocities are all consistently in line with what was shot in my first test batch.
Can anyone comment if this is typical with the 300 RUM?
