300RUM loads-yes I searched

[LeRoy]

Hey folks....

am looking for some loads that have worked for you in the 300RUM.
Right now I have 210gr RBBT ULDS that I got from wildcat. Am not too
recoil sensitive-used to shoot a 340 Ruger #1.... lots! 20-30 rds at a sitting.

I would like to try Retumbo-but have heard it is temp. sensitive?

Would like to start a "log" for all? suitable weights that are useful in the
RUM.

I hope that I will be healthy enough come hunting season to do some longer range hunting-out to 6-750yds or so.

Thanks for your time and help,
LeRoy
