Load data for 338RUM

[tayhot]

Looking for load data for the 338RUM..

250gr Accubonds with Retumbo,RE-25 and H-1000
265gr TTSX with Retumbo, RE-25, and H-1000
300gr Berger with Retumbo, RE-25, and H-1000

I have contacted all bullet manufacturs and the data they sent me did not have these powders listed.... odd

Thanks for your help

Try these threads. Should give you a starting point.

I would start a few grains lower and work your way up. But it should give you a place to start.

Thank you Korhil. I did perform a search but did not come up with these old threads.

 

[Korhil78]

Yeah, sometimes its just easier to google what you are looking for and all the old threads from this site will come up.

I tried loading the 265 gr TTSX with retumbo last night and the load was super compressed. Are others getting real compressed loads with Retumbo?

Don't exclude 50 BMG power from the list when considering the 300 gr Berger.

I don't think enough of 50 BMG can be stuffed in there to cause a problem. Full and no compression gave me well over 2700 w/low ES, SD and puny groups.

How much powder did you put in there? I believe that all of the RUM cartridges will be a compressed load with Retumbo at 91 or more grains.

 

[tayhot]

Ill have to double check but I think it was 94 gr. Ive dealt with compressed before, but this was mucho compresso

91.0 of RL 22 works great with 225gr Nosler Part or 225gr Swift A Frame.

That request was 12 years ago. I'm sure by now that his barrel is shot out. LOL
