Thank you for the notes. To my knowledge and after looking at the measurements of both RUMS, the only differences on the two are the neck diameter, and the big difference is the length to the shoulder, which is shorter on the 338 RUM, and is actually the reason I picked it over the 338 EDGE. But...

Hey everyone, getting a remington 700 blueprinted and fitted with a 338 RUM barrel by Dave Carver of ITD Custom. He has informed me that it should be done soon, within 2 weeks or so. Does anyone have any advise to give me about bullet selection or powder, and reloading tips, any information you...

If i was starting from scratch i would go that way, but im using an aics chassis with their mags. Therefor 3.62 OAL max.

So I have decided to get my rifle rebarrled in 338 RUM. The only real problem I see is the overall length. I am handicapped to 3.62 OAL to fit magazine. Does anybody have any suggestions on where to start with loading (powders, bullets, oal). This is a long range gun, so im looking to use a good...

Recoil isn't an issue. I've been lucky enough to keep a flinch at bay. I'm just looking for something basically superior to the 300 win mag

I guess i should also tell you that this will be used for long range hunting. I would like to stay with 30 Cal because I have the ability to shoot 230 grain bergers, but please try to change my mind if you wish and tell me what bullet to use and load data.

I may be having my 300 WM barrel replaced. Its a Remington 700 receiver. I am happy to stick with 300, but is there anything better? Less body taper, no belt, a sharper shoulder, perhaps lose a tenth of body length to add to neck length. I would consider a different caliber. For example I...

I am using an AI Chassis system. So I don't believe bedding or float to be a problem. Also there is no horizontal deviation, only the vertical. I assume both would come from a bad bed or inconsistnent float. Have not done a tracking test yet, but nothing has jarred my rifle or scope so I assume...

Thank for the feedback guys. I'll ask around and find a chronograph to use. And check my scope again. To be honest I'm still scratching my head about the situation.

It was only 10 degrees warmer than normal. My equipment may have been out in the sun for longer than normal, but not any amount significant. I'm very ocd when it comes to my powder charges, and there were no pressure signs. I acknowledge accidents happen, but i would have felt and seen a...

I thought I had my dope down for my rifle. Its a remington 700, chambered in 300 WM. Stock 24" barrel and receiver, in an AICS chassis, with a Bushnell DMR on top. I reload for all my rifles. I use remington brass, GMM215 primers, 68 grains of reloader 22, and I top it with a berger 230 OTM...
