Title: Got the 300 RUM dialed in
Post by: Jeremiah P on February 02, 2010, 07:30:42 PM: Shot the RUM last sunday to check what kind of group I could get at 200 yards and boy was I happy. First of all thanks Josh T for the load!! I'm shooting a 208 A Max with 93.5 grians of retumbo powder. Here are the results, sorry but pic was taken with cell phone. I measured center to center on the two outside bullets and it measured 3/4''!! :IBCOOL:

Post by: Deep Forks on February 04, 2010, 09:39:42 AM: I was pleased to see how well your 300 RUM shot, it's the 2nd one I know of that shoots just like that. Mine will be here in a few days, it's a SS on Synthetic in a Hawkeye. Already bought a 4.5 x 14 VXIII Luopold with BC reticle, have two more of these and love them. Hope you don't mind i wrote down your load and have another using Barnes X bullet. Well I'll keep my crosshairs straight hoping for a group like that and I have a Rem. 300 ultra mag. and It does. ;) :) Agin awesome shooting :)

Post by: Jeremiah P on February 04, 2010, 09:07:20 PM: I shoot a remington sendero so it has a fluted barrel, free floating, but other than that I sent it to holland guns for a brake and a new trigger spring kit and thats it. It has a Zeiss 6-20x50 conquest with target turrets so that makes shooting long range a lot easier once you have put a drop chart together. As of right now I can hit 8 out of 10 milk jugs at 950, but gonna work on that range with only a bi-pod and no sand bags.
