[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 340173, member: 11717"] Tayhot, My chrony(s) has shown about 3150-3200 with 95 gr of Retumbo pushing the 210 Bergers. If you do a search you'll find that 3150 is a fairly common velocity for that bullet out of the 300 RUM on this site, just as 3400 is fairly common for the 180 bullets. Typically, the velocity range for the 210 will be about 3100-3200 fps, with 3150 being very common. With the 180's 3300-3400 is the usuall range. The 210's will get you a little farther down range that the 180's, but I choose the 180's for terminal performance and accuracy and in *my* rifle I have no pressure issues with 3400 fps with 3 different powders. My bolt works fine and my primer pockets are staying firm. Now that is in *my* rifle, and it does have a long throat. It's also been treated with Gun Juice, but I'm not sure that's given me more velocity. It may have? If you're only looking to get to 800 yds, you can easily backoff which will give you longer barrel life and a little less recoil. a 180 bullet with a velocity of 3100 fps or a 210 bullet with a velocity of 2850 will both get you to 800 yds @ 1000' elevation. I can achieve this in my 300 WSM with a 24" barrel and a lot less powder. There are a lot of bullets to choose from and a couple more popular ones are the 200 AB's and 208 AMax's, both with good BC's and very easy to get to 800 yds in a 300 RUM. [/QUOTE]
