G'day all.
Just wondering if any 300RUM guys/gals are using H50BMG in their rifle with any success with 230g bullets.
I am running low on Retumbo and can't get Alliant or Vhit powders presently.
Have 4kg of H50BMG. I know it will run a bit slower than Retumbo, but should be accurate.

Cheers.
 
I haven't personally tested with it but have heard of some people having decent luck, Hodgdon has some data for 220gr partition. I want to try the Viht 24n41 but just like everything else, good luck finding it.
 
Thanks, according to my data source, I should be getting 2950fps, maybe a bit less in a 26" barrel.
I can also load up RE25, but don't think it will run as fast as Retumbo.

Cheers.
