I 2nd Scotty. My 300RUM loves the 200AB pushed by 95gn of Retumbo with a COL (tip to base) of 3.635". I also use Fed GM215M primers and Rem brass trimmed to 2.83". I get around 3140fps average.
Good luck finding brass. I'm pretty sure you can order 200ABs from Cabela's though.
Mine really...
Fortunately, I started building up my reserves when the last (did it ever end) dry spell hit around 2004 or 2005.
Now I've bought some 2nds from SPS here and there, bought some powder in the last week or so, and scored on 100 pieces of 375RUM brass last week, but for the most part, I've got...
Just curious, how much ammo do you have loaded for each rifle caliber/bullet combination????
When I say caliber/bullet combo, I mean like my 338RUM I have 50 rounds of 250AB & 50 rounds of 200ET loaded.
I'm bored and have been out in the garage getting all my brass cleaned and prepped, loaded...
I loaded some 7RM for a young man a few years ago. I gave him two choices for loads, both were either MOA or Sub-MOA, I don't remember right now, but here's the two load recipes.

I've been using the Excalibur dehydrator for years. Only thing, I bought the small version (either 4 or 5 tray model) and now wish I had got the larger version. Works great, no rotating/flipping of trays/meat needed as it moves air around inside the unit with a fan. Also, most of the mixes you...
I tore up a Leupold std rear mount (windage screw type) & ring during my load work up on my 338RUM. Found Midway had a set of 30mm Talley stainless mount/ring system on sale. Problem solved. Then for peace of mind, I switch from Leupold std mounts to their dual dovetail mounts on my 375RUM - no...
I use to be, but with my current stock pile of Nosler bullets, I broke the habit - I do browse once in a great while, it use to be every day, even multiple times a day.
Here's my hunting rig, a 1997 GMC 3/4 EC/LB with a 7.4L. I have installed a Richmond "No-Slip" in the front diff, so when in 4x4 all 4 wheels will receive the power. I also installed a 12K winch just in case I need to get my butt out of a situation. Basically I drive to where I camp and then...
