300 RUM with RL33 and RL26

I have a 300 RUM in a Remington 700, 24" barrel. I'm using 86.5 grains of RL26 under a 212gr Hornady ELDX with fed 215 primers, (OCL 3.80), not utilizing magazine. Velocity averages 3068 and shoots under 1/2 MOA.
BTW no muzzle brake either. It took a lot of fine tuning but it's a shooter....
 
I just picked up some 230 bergers and I have some H-1000 . I will give them a spin in my two stock 300 Rums as soon as Montana Spring bear season closes .

Does anybody have any starting load data for RL 33 in a 300 RUM ? Any favorite loads with any bullet ? Having a hard time finding . I haven't acquired any of the magic 26 dust yet but plan to try it also. Been using Retumbo for years. Be hard to beat. Have also used RL25 and H1000. Bought some IMR 4000 that havent tried yet. Not much data on it either. Thanks to all in advance. You guys are great and always are a great help .

I'll bring up same question with 300 win mag and 7 Rem mag load data later with same powders . Maybe 6.5 PRC.

Thanks!
Don
Been shooting this combo for six or seven years now 98 gr r33 215 primer 200gr accubond running 3150 FPS out of my 300rum don't see any reason to change. Great load

What length barrel ? I tried 100.0 grains RL33 with a 200 gr. ELDX yesterday . Rem case Fed 215 match. I had ave. 3152 ES 21 SD 14. No pressure signs. Not good numbers but was 1 in at 100 with 2 in one hole. Thanks Bobcat19 !
Rhett, this is one of the loads. Still sorting out others when get time :)
 
105 gr of RL25 behind a Barnes 130 TTSX gets me 3740 fps. 0 to 330 yards just point and shoot. You don't need to know the range.
About 10 years ago I was into the speed thing. I never shot anything lighter than a 150 in my rum because it was a grenade hitting an animal unless a Barnes TSX . I was getting 3630 with a 150 . 103 grs. Retumbo. 3360 with 180 and 100.0 grs. Retumbo. Settled on 98 grs.
 
I use rl26 with 215 and 230 Berger's
Also use rl26 with the 200 Swift A frame
Stellar results
Also use rl26 in 300win and 7mm with the heavies
Some day i will have some RL26 magic dust. Maybe Santa will bring this year.
Thanks for info !
