300 RUM - Sharing of load data

[Jamieb]

I've tried a bunch of powders with the 200gr. accubond in my 300 RUM. My load is 95.5 gr. Retumbo, Fed 215 primer, 200 gr accubond, PF sized RP cases, 3175fps with a very low ES.

I have a 300 rem. ultra mag I use H1000 shooting 92 grains with 200 grain accubounds and 215 primers at 3127 my hunting partner loads his with 89.5 grains his gun is 2 inches longer than mine and the 2.5 grains more that I shoot only gives me 10 more feet a second than his  We both have beartraps put in our stocks instead of muzzle breaks.

looks like the speer book mite have some good info on retumbo loads. looks like 86 - 90 grains for a 200 grain bullet. using a federal 215. 90-94 for a 180 and 97-101 for 165. I hope that may help.

your pard needs to switch to a slower burning powder.  Sounds like you both are burning up all the powder.  Thats a good thing.

ok guys..... what's a beartrap in the stock? my 300 RUM Sendero weighs 10 and 1/2 lbs naked. Would that help absorb some recoil? thanks.

[haugenna]

Just loaded up some practice rounds to take to the range.  5 of each 97, 98, 98.5, 99, and 99.5.  COL is at 3.600.  180 Grain Nosler Ballistic tips with Fed 215M primers.

Is it me or is that bullet buried in that case???   Anyone else run into that?

Note sure of his wording, but he may be talking about either a recoil reducer you place in the stock after drilling a hole, or possilby one of the recoil reducing stock modifications available.

the beartrap is a recoil reducer that is put in the stock. The but pad is taken off and the bear trap is placed in the hole in the stock and epoxyed in and the pad put back on. I don;t like muzzle breaks because of the noise and the times dirt and stuff got in my eyes if the wind is blowing at you. The bear trap takes a lot of the recoil out it is a type of mercury switch. Both take recoil out but just my preference. My gunsmith puts them in all my guns.
