.300 RUM high velocity loads - 07/11/09
For when I receive my .300 RUM, I would like to put a varmint load together for long distance groundhogs and maybe some coyotes. I am mostly looking at either the 125 grain Nosler ballistic tips or the 110 grain Hornady V-max, I especially prefer the 110 grain Hornady v-max due to the thinner jacket, but could I see the bullet come apart at .300 RUM velocities with a 1:10" twist? Also what powder would be the best for obtaining maximum velocity out of the lighter bullets, I would assume Retumbo would be too slow for the 110's or 125's. I am not interested in any of the Reloder powders, for they are greatly affected by temperature variation, so maybe one of Hodgdon's extreme powders? Let me know what you guys think!
