[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3064580, member: 10755"] Not a 338RUM, but with my 338Edge, I was running 265g & 300g ABLR, 300g Berger OTM, & 285g Flatline solid copper out of my 338-416 Rigby Improved. The latter aren’t for hunting. I was given a bunch of Hornady 285g ELD Match bullets and used them on barrel break in and smashing rocks, I don’t like Hornady bullets for hunting, and I don’t find anything “match” about them, so take this as you will, but at 800 or so, they weren’t consistent. The 300g OTM did weird things at range, so I dropped them too. Both of my rifles had/have 9” twists, this may make a difference. As to buying factory or going custom, I would always go custom, especially regarding twist and length. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
