180 gr ab and magnum powder.

[Sas874runner]

I have set myself a goal for my loads for my 300rum-3300 fps with a 180ab and at least moa accuracy. And have been able to make that goal with the 2 different powders. ( rl25 & retumbo)... now comes the problem of feeding the thirsty case. I cannot get a hold of either powder anymore. I have orders for both powders on back order with no eta. But I did get a hold of some ramshot magnum. Has anyone loaded this powder for the 300rum with velocities reaching 3300+ and decent accuracy?

Pat has both w860 and w872 back in stock.
At $6.00 per pound plus hasmat, these are you best options trying to feed the big RUM's.

Sas874,
I have used Ramshot Magnum with 180ab bullets but could not get to 3300 fps in my 300 RUM just low 3200's, accuracy was not so good. But I got better accuracy with IMR-7828 and close to 3250 if memory serves me correctly. By far RL-25 is THE Powder for my gun. Every gun is different and if you work a little with Ramshot Magnum it could yield some good results. I wouldn't rule it out.
