[QUOTE="ARTJR338WM, post: 586005, member: 12990"] Great thanks for the replies so far. To answer a few questions, yes I do reload, have been for over 20yrs, and I have never shot factory ammo out of any of my rifles except for my .22s. The short version of the load I was shooting on my last WY elk trip was: 225 grain Nosler Accubonds 75.5 grains of RL-19 mildly compressed New fired 1X only in my M700 WIN brass necked sized only FED 215m primers All aspects of reloads uniformed as close to exact from round to round as possable I do not recall amount of run out but it was a complete non-factor. As much as I love my M700 in 338wm and trust me I do, I very much wish to build a new rifle so I will have something to do and a new rifle to develope loads for = lots more shooting. Although I am still in the resurch phase only, based on articles and product evals I have read here I am considering these components for my build keep in mind this is simply what is my basic needs are based on my at this time limited knowledge and I have a limited budget. <>Stainless Savage 116 long action W/Accutrigger I already have one in my gunsafe I aquierd for $100 in mint NIB condition. <>Caliber eithor 300WM, 338WM, as I wish to keep the recoil down so I can keep the weight down as well, but if I deside on a caliber like 338UM I guess I could go with a brake. <>Stock by B&C or HS in BDL <>Stainless barrel most likely by PN or Llija 26-28" Rate of twist to be determined <>Optics likely a Huskma Blue Ice <>Lastly a compitent smith to assemble my componernts, bed the action and any other component to maximize the rifles accuracy potential So what do those more knowledgeable than I think of my choice of components, and where are some good places to get prices for them. I must first deside on the components of the rifle and their cost before progressing to the next phase of finding a smith. As I said, I am still in the development stage so try not to laugh to hard at some of my selections as my knowledge is limited. Also keep in mind for all suggestions I have a limited budget. Or is the best place to start with a actual gun smith who can guide me through the selection process in the first place. As a side note, what type of MV can be gotten with 338RUM using 250grn bullets? I know the 338RUM takes something like 20% (guessing here) or more powder than my 338WM can. I can get over 2800 MV with my 338WM and 225 Accubonds, so I would be interested in what a 338RUM can push a 250grn bullet with hot reload that is still with in safe pressure limits. I thinking at least 2850 or so. Thanks, Arthur. [/QUOTE]
