US869 in the .300 RUM

[Overkill338]

normal 26" factory on both rifles... The load will be a bit compressed but a bit of vibration or tapping on the case should get it in fine. I'd start in the mid 90's and work up for rl50 with a 225 in a 300rum.

Thanks, I will probably still pick it up, but some kind members here helped me get 5 lbs of RL25 and 1 lb of H1000 this morning.

I love rl25 for 180's in a 300rum (or 140's in a 7stw)... dang good stuff... I haven't used h1000 since I shot heavies in my old 300win 20+ years ago; well before the lr bandwagon was going on full steam.

Have been using 869 in my 338 Lapua Mag behind 270 gr. Hornady, works great.

Have any of you tried it and will it work with 225gr ELD-M? It's the only powder I have found that MIGHT actually work.

Thanks

QL shows it to be a good cartridge, bullet, powder combo. A full case will help control temp sensitivity too.
