300RUM with 110 Vmax load help

[shootinmiles]

I have a 300RUM and was wanting to put a 110 Vmax on top of it and push it out the barrel at 4000+fps. I saw some data in an earlier post, but I would like to use Hodgdon powder if possible, and would really be happy if the powder I use could also be used in one of these calibers as well: 204, 223, or 308, as I will only be shooting about 20 rounds through the 300 (I just want some video and pics of prairie dogs and coyotes getting hit by it).

To sum it up, I would like help on which powder I should use and a starting point to get a 110 Vmax to 4000+fps out of a 300RUM. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I do know that it will be a barrel burner, but that's why I will only shoot a few, I've looked at the Hornady manual, but they keep it at a modest 3900 when I've heard people pushing past 4200.

H-1000 , H-4831 , Retumbo , 869 , for Hodgdon powders, VV-165 ,VV-170 , RL-22 ,RL- 25 ,IMR 7828 , IMR 4831 are all suitible powders work your loads to a SAFE MAX pressure. You May or May not get to your desired Velocity . 92 grs of H-4831 Fed 215 primer would be a point to start.

Thanks for the advice. Retumbo is what I use with my 200gr Accubonds; I didn't think to use it because I thought it was more for the heavier bullets. I will load some up with it and post my results. Nosler has load data for using 109gr of Retumbo with their 125gr bullets... It looks like a lot a powder will get burned.

After running several powder scenarios thru QUICKLOAD, my choice would either be 7828SSC or VV560.
If you would like a JPG file of the screen print for those results, send me your e-mail address to barry(at)theoconnors(dot)com
