I am VERY excited to see what this load does on a Mulie this weekend:

300 RUM

210 Berger VLD, 87.9 Grains RL, 3.54 OAL, 3050 fps, BC = .063... Hoping to see a lights out shot!

Theres plenty of room for all of gods animals.... right next to the mashed potatoes!

Sounds like a decent load for rhinos...
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

That 87.9 gr of powder must be RL-25.
Sounds like it a good long range load.
What load increments did you work up in to end up with a charge that went to 9/10 of a grain?

Might want to play around with Retumbo after hunting season.  You will probably pick up a little more speed and not have the temp sensitive problems.

I bet the deer will be half skinned when you get to it  :yike:

I was just thinking he would walk up on a nice pile of cut and wrapped steaks.
