300 rum & 200 AB load work up

[Sas874runner]

So It was one of those days! Where everthing falls almost perfectly in to place. Starting load work. 300 rum 200 AB RL 25 fed 215 primers and r-p brass.

Sweet groups!

92.5 gr was my load.

3147 fps and .675" at 300 yards.

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Fine groups. That'll be a hammer on about anything you shoot with that load.

 

[Sas874runner]

Thanks guys. Thats the goal fotis. Hopefully a little seating depth changes and I can tighten those up. I was in the zone today shot my best group with my 180 ab load. But its gonna be a few days before I can get back out. We got a snow stoem rolllin in tonight. Tomorrows high of 27 doesn't sound fun to shoot in.

Very nice shooting and man, that is a hammer of a load! Way to go. That big RUM is accurate as all get out most of the time.

 

[Rigbymauser]

Great shooting!!.

Should I ever get to own a "fast thirty" I would be digging into the RUM, Lazzaroni Warbird or .30/378Wea. A max loaded RUM ain´t far from the Weatherby .30/378.
Personally I would love to see a 200grain AB surpas the 3200 ft/sec mark.

That's perfect fotis. Rigby I'm hoping I can make that happen my 180 gr load surpassed book speeds by 100 fps. Hoping I can get close to that with the 200's

RL 25 with any brand of 200gr bullets gives me sub moa every time with my 300 RUM. Perfect combo imo.

 

[Sas874runner]

I love rl25 consistant velocities. And as accurate as you can get. And from what I have seen its not very temperature sensitive.

It has been very good to me in my 264 Win Mag.

Got out for a few hours today too test seating depth. Looks like I couldn't pull the flyer in but it's still sitting fine groups. Right about .6" @100. But with the 2 rounds I had left I had to throw them over the chrono. Speeds shocked me a little. Crony was at 15yrds. So I think I'm done with that load. Now its time to stretch the legs a little.

 

[DrMike]

Yards? Or feet?

 

[Sas874runner]

Yards or 30'

..that's where a .300Rum ought to be with a 200grain...whamo!. Taken into consideration the .378Wea does this speed with a bullet weighting only 60grain more the RUM is efficient.

Wow, that is one bad dude and some serious elk medicine!

[SJB358]

Wow, you aren't kidding Joe. Very nice.. That load will get everything done that needs doin!
