300 RUM handloading question

[bobcat]

Sounds to me like there's a problem with the gun. I'd have a gunsmith check it out. You shouldn't be getting primers backing out with factory ammo.

Same length barrel carp. My 257 shoots 100fps faster than the pards Rem due to the longer throat/free bore. Same loads, same chrony...

[carpsniperg2]

Understand but I don't think 1 less grain in his rifle with the same bullet will give him 100fps more like the load says

Looks like from hodgons site the 3 fastest with The heavy bullets are the retumbo,h1000,h50bmg in that order.

My buddy and I both use H1000 and federal 215 primers with 200 grain accubonds. His uses 89 grains and mine 91 both are very accurate.

Are you set on shooting the 210?  One of my RUMs shoots the 190 VLDs much better and is over 3000 fps.  The Sendero seems to really like the 175 VLDs.  Over 3300 fps.  Retumbo is the only powder I use in the RUMs. Send a PM in you want load info and specs.

I haven't played with the 210's yet.  I am shooting the 168 grain VLD with 96 grains of H1000 in 300rum.
This is the one I have had best success with thus far.

Thanks for the inputs. 257 do you think I haven't seen all the loads on reloadersnest? I havewill data rightwith from berger that showsyou max loadat of 92a grains retumbo andand velocity of 2930 so i do realize that isoon am close according to bergers info. I have been all over the web looking at this stuff and realize lots of people arent 100% truthfull online. My rifle isis at the smiht now having a brake.installed and I.will have him look it over for.anything out of.thebordinary. I will get some of the factory brass and post a pic and the brass of m handload and post also. I am not set on the 210 bergers but would like to stay around 200 or heavier.

[BULLBLASTER]

Please excuse my spelling and extra words in my last post. My phone likes to add words all over and change spelling.

I meant I have data from berger that says max of 92a grains retumbo for 2930 fps. So I am not far off if you subtract 2 grains.

Let us know what you have success with, I am still playing with mine, but like what the 168's have done so far.

will do. I will let you know when I get my rifle back and maybe we can hit the range?

I would love to hit the range with you, but have an infant right now, so I won't get much time to do so.  But let me know and I will try to fit it in if I can.

quick question for you rum guys, do you all have brakes on em or not? just curious not trying to thread jack...

[MtnMuley]

I have brakes and Pads on two of my lightweight RUMs and don't have a brake on the Sendero.  The sendero has the stock pad which isn't a much of a recoil pad, but with the overall weight of the gun, the kick is very minimal.  As for the two light weight guns, they honestly have the recoil of a 243.
