Pet loads for the 180 accubond for a 300 RUM

[garyx]

I just ordered a 300 RUM. Christensen arms rifle. I have Nosler brass and 180 gr accubonds. Looking to shoot longrange. Would like to shoot min. 3200 fps. Is there any recommendations for pet loads out there.

No loads for you, but I would bet Retumbo, RL22 and IMR7828 would be good places to start. I would probably start with Nosler's most accurate powder. Pretty solid information. Scotty

MY ACTUAL LOADS DROP BY 10% MINIMUM WORK UP

That should keep you busy for a while. NPG is Nosler Partition Gold BTW.

I've had good luck with IMR7828 SSC version getting around 3300 fps in mine. This is Remington brass, Federal 215 primers and 86.0 grains of the above mentioned powder.

These are what I found to shoot very well in my Christensen Arms 300 ultra
130 gr Barnes TTSX with 100 grs. R22 and Federal 215
150gr Nosler both Ballistic Tips and AccuBond with 104 grs Retumbo and Federal 215 primers
168 gr Barnes TTSX with 99 grs Retumbo and Federal 215 primers
180 gr Barnes TTSX and 180 Nosler Ballistic Tips and 180 Accubonds with 97.5 grs Retumbo
All will shoot under .5'' @100 yards
These loads were with Nosler brass
Over my shooting chrony
130 Barnes @ 3790 fps
150 Noslers @3600 fps
168 Barnes @3366 fps
180 Barnes and Noslers @ 3343 fps
COAL as far as magazine would permit for field use

Just thought I'd share some photos from last summer with the Christensen rifle at work

Great pics STW. That big RUM is a really awesome cartridge.
