[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 340261, member: 3756"] Tayhot, My notes tell me that 97 gr. of Retumbo, 210 Berger, and CCI-250 primers in my rifle will produce a muzzle velocity of 3170 ft/sec. I have had that bullet just a tad over 3200 and in my factory Remington it's getting pretty hot, my primers were very loose and had to get rid of the brass. I don't like flirting with danger, how you think I have made it to 55 after reloading since I was 17? I leave that to more courageous folks...? This particular bullet I like keeping it between 3100 and 3150 ft/sec. Right now I'm using 93.0 grains of Retumbo which produces 3023 ft/sec just because it is extremely accurate and untill I find the upper node I'll just be happy for now. This load I have shot it at close to 1800 yards and you'll see kicking dust off the ground. Through binoculars that is. :-) MontanaRifleman does have a point, longer throat and a good Gun Juice treatment I don't doubt will make a difference, but that's not not case with most factory Remington Rifles. My 300 Remington LSS and 300 RUM Sendero are pretty much alike when it comes to pressures. The reason I like the 210 over the 180 is not so much because of it being flatter at longer ranges, it's not the vertical adjustment that challenges me it's the wind, and the 210 berger will help you better with that challenge.
