Title: Excited to try new load...
Post by: MDGrand on October 13, 2010, 12:58:08 PM: 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!

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?

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