Anybody tried the LRT in a 30-378? I just bought one, going to pick it up next week. Ramshot doesn't show any data for this powder and the 30-378 but it should be just about perfect for it.

Eagerly awaiting your results. I expect them to be good.

I emailed ramshot and got no help from them. Looks like it's time to go rogue. Ha ha. If anybody had quickload shoot me a little info if you don't mind.

I checked the Ramshot load manual hand out booklet they send in the mail and see it as a nitche powder.

Nuttin wrong with goin rogue. That's how we learn the unknown. Start at h1000 loads and go up. That's the safe option

With LRT being a bit slower than retumbo and very close.to N570 in burn rate I will start with some middie of the road retumbo data or some N570 data if.I can find any. I also think they have some load data for the 300 ultra mag with LRT. I will start on the low end and work my way up and see what we come up with.

Anyone confirmed/disputed any of these 300PRC numbers with LRT?

For me, a max charge of 87.7grains pushed a 225gr ELD to 2999fps 12 SD 24 ES from a 28 inch barrel.

Above is posted some powders and their burn rates in order from faster to slower powders. LRT is near the bottom.

If you can find load data for N570, IMR 8133, or US 869 they may be helpful.

Been playing with LRT in my 28" barrel 33XC. Getting 3030 fps with a 300 grain Berger and 123 grains of powder. Think I'm staying there in powder, seems to shoot best.

What do you get for case volume on that beast? I have a 338 Rogue that I am starting to work on.
