Tried it in a .300 RUM for 180gr. bullets. No joy! I went back to RL 25 and IMR 7828.
Others have used it in a .300 RUM with success. Or so I've read. |

Pyro, tried it in my 7mm RUM for 160gr. bullets, got to agree with Cheaptrick, nothing to brag about, also went to RL-25, much better results! actually it's a night & day difference. Got some loaded up with H-50BMG, have yet to try them out. I'll let ya'll know how it goes, It's been said that it's even better.

H-1000 is the best powder I've found for my Savage .243 using heavier bullets.
45.1 gr with a 105 Amax, Rem. brass and F210 M primers gets me 3010 fps and is very accurate.

pyro8999,
Here's a photo I took during load development. 45 gr. H-1000 with Lapua brass. I love H-1000.
One more, different bullet, a Berger 95 VLD with 46 gr. H-1000, rem brass:
Did I mention that I LOVE H-1000? |

looks similar to what my old man's .243 does with 4895 but with 5 shots instead of 3 slightly bigger group just under a dime, nice group though

I prefer 5-10 shot groups too, but for load development it's not worth the time and barrel life, at least to me.
I've shot a couple of 20 shot rapid fire groups with the first load, one at .759" and the other at .841". I won't do that again as it really heats things up, but I wanted to see how the barrel would behave under extreme match conditions. |

im starting to think shooting 5 shot groups for testing is a waste too.
