300 RUM Powder & Bullets?
Fella's I've just recieved this rifle and there is not alot of reload information for it. I've seen Hodgons info and would like to see some Reloader 22 & 25 and IMR 7828. I am shooting a stainless synthetic Remington 700, 24 inch barrel.

2. 93 grs Rl-25,Sierra 180 spitzer,Fed 215(3300fps)
3. Factory 180 gr Noslers(3200 fps)
I had poor luck with X bullets,Sirrocos.-Rob

Any good loads for the 200 gr Nosler Partition? Factory loads only get 3000 fps which is any about 50 fps faster than my 300 Win Mag.

I've tried RL-25, H-870, and IMR7828, and the first has produced best results, in 180 and 200 grain bullets in my LSS .300 RUM. With 200-grain Swift A-frames, Federal 215 primers, 92 grains of RL-25 yields about 3140 fps and sub-MOA accuracy. Haven't yet decided on a load with 180-grain bullets, but have tried 95 grains RL-25 with no excess pressure signs, same primers, with Sciroccos and Barnes XLCs, and velocities a bit over 3300 fps. (Note: my barrel has been chryo'ed.)
