For Nosler Accubonds 200gr in a 300RUM, what would be the recommended starting and Max loads? All Hodgedon has is Barnes data for 200gr bullets. And Nosler doesn't list Retumbo loads. I was thinking 90-94gr.
Bigcountry I am using Retumbo in a 300 Rum with 180 gr Barnes X bullets. Max load in MY rifle is 95 grs so I think you are pretty close with your start loads.
Start at about 90 or a bit under and work your way up. I'm using 95 in my rifle, it clocks 3177. That's close to max but not too hot. I didn't get a pressure sign until 97 grains--in hot weather.
Rutumbo has giving me great consistency and accuracy with that bullet.

You know alot of people (Hodgdon and Sierra) always quote loads for this round with 9.5 primers. Has anyone seen any effects with using 215M or CCI250 primers? I usually only use 215M primers for this round.
