I have been shooting the 200gr accubonds since they came out,
after trying several different powders I settled on the RL25
91.5 gr. I am shooting a sako 75 ss syn. It is an amazingly
accurate load.I group 1.5 at 300 yards. It also bucks the
wind very well. It also holds together real well! I started
with sirrocos and I had holes in target that were 5 times as long as round. also some that made several holes. My velocity is right around 2900.
Hang on as it thumps pretty hard.

My sleeper load is 101 grains of magpro, 168 grn, barnes triple shock and a fed. 215m primer. this load is good for 3500 fps out of my african plains remmy.

Cool!

I picked one up this Sept. at Bass Pro Shops when they were on sale with a rebate. It is a rem 700 BDL. I topped it with a VariXlll 3.5x10x40. The only powder I had on hand was IMR7828 and I loaded some with 180gr Partitions. While working up loads with this combo I hit a very accurate load at about 3150 fps. This gun shoots very well with this combo and I can't figure out what all the hoopla is about the recoil as I have shot the factory loads and my handloads. This is a very accurate rifle and I like this round. I went 3 for 3 on deer with this rifle/load from 75 to 175yds. It dropped them right in their tracks.

I deer hunt only and wanted something that shot at least as flat as my 25-06 with 100 Balistic Tips but a little more reliable on 250LBS + deer.I went after a 7 STW ,the store I went to had a new caliber.this was spring 2000.it was a 300 Magnum made by Rem.I thought the STW was flatter than a 300 Win,He said no this is a 300 Rem Magnum.I looked it over and bought the thing.

what I have now is a rifle throwing 150 Partitions flatter than a 220 Swift with 340 Weatherby energy numbers.

a lot of new calibers are al hype the 300 RUM is better than advertised.

I use IMR.7828 @ 87.5 gr. with 200 gr. nosler Accu-bonds @3113 fps. For some reason my Sako shoots better with the 200 gr. bullet better than 180's. also use federal 215 primer's.
