300 RUM Remington Sendero VSSF

[Greatgrandad]

I have a couple of 300 RUM's, one 26" and one 28", and I have run everything from 180 and 200 grain Nosler AB, 210 Bergers, 210 ABLR and 180 Scirocco, and after tweeking their handloads, they have all shot well. However, the 210 ABLR required more work to shoot well. I mostly run Retumbo and RL 26, and the 26" with a 180 AB with 100gr of Retumbo runs @ 3,410 fps. That throat is longer and more worn than my 28", so do not use that data in yours without working up.

Skeeter41……I see that you have few posts.

If I haven't already welcomed you to the forum, I've recently slept and may have forgotten…… I will do so now.

Welcome from North Central Wyoming! memtb

Thanks. Been a member for awhile. I used to shoot and tinker a lot with loads. Started coaching high school football which takes up way more time than it should so I dont have time to play around anymore. I grab my trusty 300 WM when I need a gun.

My son is headed off to play college football so my time is going to get even more slim.

I ran across this gun at a price I couldn't turn down so I am going to force myself to get back into tinkering. With the cost of powder, primers and bullets I am just looking for a starting point.

I am from central PA.

I had the same rifle, if it's fluted it's probably a Sendero.
I started out with factory ammo, Hornady ELDX 220g, and HSM 180 Berger. Both shot sub MOA repeatably. After starting to handload I went to the Berger 230 OTM or 215 hybrid with Retumbo. Fun rifle and eventually I had it rebarreled to the same caliber.
