[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 681203, member: 6152"] I don't have any first hand experience with the Rocky Mountain Bullets, but I do with the .338, 300 grain CE bullets, both on game and on paper at extended range. I am more than please with their performance on Elk sized game at ranges from 600 to around the 1,000 yard mark. Consistency in the accuracy department is what concerns me. Shooting groups on paper at 1,760 yards, in multiple calibers, has me a bit perplexed as they will not group consistently. Now, consistently is the key word. Good three shot, four shot groups are possible, but I have never been able to shoot a tight five shot group. Perhaps, these bullets are no better than the other solids that seem to share the inherint "solid consistency problem". Taking into account the fact that one has to run a sharper twist to shoot the solid, it does not leave much option if the combination does not like the bullet. One should never build a rifle around one bullet! Sooo, my bid is for the .338 combination..... that will allow the end user multiple comercially available match bullets to use in the 285-300 grain range. Remember Germs... if we can't hit what we're aiming at, the rest is a moot point! [/QUOTE]
