300 RUM target loads

[BigGuns]

I have a remington sendero sf II in 300RUM, no mods to the action, trigger, or stock... just had a brake installed though. My very first loads with it were 230gr berger VLD's (h-1000). by the end of the box, i finally got groups in the .5" and .4" range at .030" off the lands and 93 gr of H-1000. i have yet to find these 230 bergers ever since. i am now loading some 178gr A-Max's and some nosler BT's(h-1000 and 7828 ssc). i cannot seem to find a good load for the A max. i can, however get some 125 noslers into a .5" circle pretty well. Just picked up some 200gr barnes LRX (us 869) and barley got 1 moa.

i have not been able to find retumbo or any of the RL powers anywhere... i have quite a good bit of imr and hodgdon though.

any ideas? any other bullets you might suggest?

210 Bergers with Winchester Magnum primers and 92 to 94 grains of Retumbo, with a Krieger barrel under two-tenths at 100 yards.

I have rem action and 30in douglas bbl with brake. it shoots 210 bergers with 90grs retumbo into one hole at 100yds at 3150fps. right inside 5in at 900yds. it is a blast to shoot and have taken 2 elk with it. one at 756 and one at 954. I have a small 9year old boy that will shoot it all day long if I would let him. I know that is hard to find bergers for it but I put in large orders for them and have been getting some right along. good luck.
