[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1630324, member: 78056"] I worked up a load on a buddies 300 RUM and ended up using a pretty stout load of Retumbo with a 200 Partition. Adding more powder didn't add any velocity so I stopped there, at 2940 fps (I don't remember the load off hand but it was close to the book max). This rifle is a stock Rem 700. Using my scope, the barrel looks like match grade & it shoots well with minimal fouling. I suppose we could squeeze a bit more velocity out of it but I wonder if it's worth the effort? If we could get 200 fps, maybe, but he seems quite happy with it as is and has taken several deer with it. but is itching to take a long range elk. I expect his biggest hurdle is money, for now. Time will tell but I do like the cartridge. It has a lot of potential! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
