OneFireStick.300 RUM Barnes XXX Loads
I've purchased some Barnes Triple X 200grn bullets that I need some load data for the 300 RUM. I've got RL25, Retumbo, & IMR 7828 powders available. Can anyone recommend any loads for this combo?
Thanks.

gator378I have the 300 Weatherby, 26 inch barrel. My goal was 200 grain Barnes TSX at 3000 fps across the Chrony. All Fed 215 primers
IMR 7828: 83.0 grains
H1000: 87.0 grains
Both above gave me 1 inch groups at 100 yds
With 200g Sierra
REL 25: 86.0 grains
Retumbo: 87.0 grains
I did not get good groups with REL 25 and Retumbo with my rifle. I got almost a shotgun pattern with REL 22, but with in the 2506 Sendero I get on ragged hole with 10 shots at 100 yards with REL 22. Guns and powder can do strange things
Hope this helps for starters.
