.300RUM Powder for light bullets

[wboggs]

What is the best powder for 150-168 gr bullets? I have gotten good results with Retumbo with the 185's but only have a limited supply and would appreciate hearing from other shooters before using it. Barrel is 29 1/2".
Thanks
Bill

For that weight of bullet, H1000, VVN165, IMR 7828 and RL-25 / 22 in that order.. The first 3 burn VERY clean, the RL-Powders burn like charcoal>>>HOWEVER, they produce velocity AND accuracy!

Thanks, I have plenty of H1000 and 7828.

I got good accuracy and velocity with a 150 TTSX over RL25.

 

[wboggs]

What velocity range with the R25 and Barnes 150?
