Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 338 RUM reloads

I haven't started reloading for this one but will soon with 250gr pills. Has anyone found a powder for this caliber that shines above the rest?
Thanks

Reloader 25, Federal mag primer, and as long of an over all length as will fit the magazine.

H-1000 came in second place in both of mine, but close enough that I would still try it if I was starting to load for another. Especially since H-1000 is more temp stable than Re-25.

i am using rldr 25 under a 250 sierra. book max charge of 95 grains, gives me 3,052 fps, out of a 28 inch tube.

Thanks for the posts. I'll round up some information on those powders and set to work up a load.
Thanks again

Retumbo has been exceptional for me in my stock M700 LSS 338 RUM with 250 gr AB and PT. The 250 AB has a MV of 2940 fps but the accuracy is sub .5" so I never tried going any higher. The same charge weight sends the 250 gr PT at 3024 fps.
