Berger 215 hybrid target

[Nebraska402]

Hey I'm looking for some load data on the above round for a 300 rum using retumbo.  I'm hoping someone has a berger book and could take a pic of the page for that?  Thanks. Marshall

I use them in a Christensen Arms Ridgeline 300 rum loaded@ 85.6 of retumbo 3.65 overall length and they shoot lights out! Brass norma and 215 primers. 
you can do a search and on google and find all kinds of information too..

I am not at home, but I have loaded that combo before.  Start way lower, but I got up over 90.0 with the combo.  Safe in THAT gun.  

Think about the 230 too.  I push them at 3113 in my 28" .300RUM over Retumbo.

My Berger book(first edition) does not have the 215g bullet but it does have the 210g and the 230g. Loads for Retumbo are not listed. I assume the reason is that Berger considers it a very slow option for the 210 or 230g bullets in the 300RUM. I'd go to the Hodgdon powder web site for load info. A tip when trying any new load. Find your bullet touch on the rifling and always start your load at a minimum of ten thousands off the rifling. Hornady makes a bullet seating guage and there are others that will render great results when looking for a proper seating depth. It is very dangerous to try any load with the bullet jammed into the rifling! A safe load can turn into a very unsafe load with the bullet jammed!!
