Has anyone shot this combination and had good luck with it. And if so what gr. & type of powder was good. I am a new reloader and will be asking lots of silly questions Thanks and remember just shoot!

Exactly what is a "300 WUM"?

I've been working with a friend's 300 RUM and finally settled on a load. 94.5 of RE 22 with a 165 HP Game King. Three shoots is about .800. Ballistic Tips were close at about .900. 168 Match Kings were about .600. Email and I'll give you more details.

ricciardelli sorry for the confusion it is a .300 winchester ultra mag model 70

Is it a M70 chambered in 300 RUM or a Winchester Short Mag.?

its a 300 win ultra mag model 70 stainless classic. it chambers the 300 RUM rounds. I think it's the only brass you can get for it.

So it's a M70 Winchester chambered in .300 Remington Ultra Mag...Right???

TSAS,
yes its a model 70 winchester long action chambered for rem 300 ultra mag.
see I told you I was new at this. Now back to my question. I am going to reload nosler 165 gr ballistic tips. Has any one found a good combination of powder,primer & gr of powder for this bullet?
thanks, just-shoot

The 300 WUM is Elmer Fudd's all purpose gun. He uses it for Wabbits and such,,be wary wary carewul.

Sniper,

One of my 300ultramags likes 165gr ballistic tips and 99gr of h-1000 powder.

Sniper....roflmao

RL 22 and RL 25 have always worked nicely for me in my magnums. (300 Win, 338 Ultra, and 7.82 Warbird) I highly recommend them!

At 30/06 speeds thye expand really rapidly so for your cannon I would leave them as a varmint bullet I would think.

At 300yds I shot a 165gr NBT going 3400fps+ at the muzzle out of my 300 RUM into wet newspapers and only found fragments of the bullet. I second the previous post about using them for varmints only.
