My thoughts exactly Brando. I think I'll shoot H1000 until it speeds up. No point in pushing hard at this stage. It's a good time to find a seating depth it likes, and fireform cases.

I snuck out to the range at lunch time and ran 56.5-59g of R26. Ejector marks started at 58.5, with 2863 fps. Still with virgin cases, and round count is only 27. I think it's ime to just load a bunch and enjoy my 260 with the ridiculous appetite until the barrel speeds up. I shot a couple of...

I've just put together a hunting rifle on a R700, 1-8.5" brux 2B @22", chambered with a .296 neck/ 0.081 freebore. For now I'm running 140 amax, and cases formed from R-P .300. I've been squirrelling away parts and components for this project for quite some time, so when a buddy mentioned that...

Took the new boomstick to the range on the weekend. Ran a velocity ladder from 57.5-61.5 H1000, in reformed 300-RP cases, with 140 amax. 61.5 gave me 2800 fps. Now granted, the barrel is only 22", and is brand new, but I'm hoping for more speed than this. It is worth saying that the powder is at...

yeah, that's what I'm hearing. Giving them a pass in the rsaum.

I've got a gen 1 R700 Ti in 7mm-08. I've always loaded 120 tsx in my other 7mm-08's but I've got a couple boxes of 150 LRAB and thought I might give them a try. Anyone care to share actual experience with this bullet? I'm hearing reports that they are on the soft side, but I'm thinking they...

I have shot 120 tsx out of my 7-08's and 7rsaum at woods ranges and they have done great, although I have always wished for a touch more expansion. They alwasy punch through, but the exit is generally so small that there often isn't much blood.

thanks gents

I just took delivery of a 22" 6.5 rsaum. It's a whitetail rifle. Obviously I'm looking for ballistic performance, but I really like to eat venison, so I'm looking for a bullet that kills without leaving bullet slivers everywhere. Given rsaum velocities, what are your recommendations. I was...

I'm more concerned with accuracy and consistency than I am with chasing the last few FPS, so I may well just stay with H1000. Time to load up some ladders and see just what is what I guess.

Just scored some rl26. Should be interesting

I've got H4831, H4350, RL22, H1000, N160 and N165. To date, RL22 has worked great in the shorter tube, with 162's, and H1000 with 180's in the chunk.

I've got 2 7 rsaums- one with a 22" factory tube, and one with a 25" Rock HV. I would love some real world info from folks who are loading the 180 ELD. I'm wondering about loads and on game performance.
