[QUOTE="Scott300RUM, post: 505135, member: 30666"] I'm building loads for my 300 RUM as we speak with Nosler brass, 210 Bergers, Retumbo, and Federal 215m primers. I have a few questions for you guys that have already built up your loads. Berger says the max load for Retumbo with 210 gr. bullets is 92 gr. and I've seen quite a few guys using 94 gr. in theirs. Should I work my way towards 94 as long as I don't see any signs of pressure? My plans were to make 5 loads of each starting at 89, 90, 91, and 92. But now I may make loads at 93 and 94 if you guys think it should be fine. I know it's hard to say since every rifle is different, but I'm new to reloading, so just tell me what you guys would do. My next question is about my Nosler brass. I read in my reloading manual that the max brass length is 2.850 and the trim-to length is 2.840. However, all my 100 pieces are between 2.828 and 2.829. Is this normal and will it affect anything with them being a little bit shorter? Thank you guys for your help, and I'll share my findings when I do some shooting this weekend, Scott [/QUOTE]
