[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1362884, member: 5219"] You can safely start at 84 gr of H-1000 with the 230 gr Berger in your 300 RUM. A couple of years ago I decided I didn't need to run max loads in my 300 RUM and found an accurate load with 86 gr of H-1000 with the 230 gr Berger. The velocity of my 24" barreled 8 1/2 lb rifle is 2800 fps. (why 24"? because I rechambered a 300 win mag takeoff) This short lightweight rig is wonderful for chasing elk in the dark timber and still has plenty of power for longer shots. I was sharing with my friend who also shoots the same combination and was surprised that he also uses 86 grs of powder with his RUM. [/QUOTE]
