[QUOTE="kfreeze, post: 1854240, member: 79596"] I am messing with a savage 300 with 24" barrel too. I had trouble getting great groups until I remembered to let it cool 10 min between shots. The barrel on mine doesn't like being warm. That being said, I was using rl26, n565, and h1000 with 190 ablr bullets. The rl26 was pushing them at just over 3100 fps at max load. Never got it too shoot great because I learned my gun didn't like to be warm after I started messing with something else. The n565 gave me 3070 at max load and I droped down to 3020 to catch a good accuracy node. H1000 gave me a little over 3000 fps and I wasn't able to see pressure signs before I was crunching powder too much and having the bullets starting to spring back out after seating. After that I tried some 165 accubonds and rl26 and H4831sc. The rl26 gave me 3325 fps at max and I never found a good node with it because I was shooting too fast and warming up the barrel The H4831sc showed good potential with the 165's. 3276 fps was max load and had a good looking node about a half a grain under that. All of this was done loading rounds as long as I can fit them in the savage factory dbm. They were jumping some because of that. So I was limited to finding something that had to work at that length. I have a load with the 190 ablr and n565 that does good so I am going to take it out farther and see what it does. [/QUOTE]
