[QUOTE="joecool, post: 242203, member: 5567"] [b]Re: Dad Puts Elk Down!!![/b] Yes I’m necking up 300 brass to .338 but I think it would be better to neck down 375 RUM brass that way I wouldn’t have to seat the bullet hard into the lands. Well it’s no secrete that Kirby designed the .270 Allen and since Kirby always gets the max ability out of any of his cases, that’s why I came up with the name UltraMaxx. Kirby and I talked about several .338s and I decided I would just like to use his 270 dimensions with a .338 neck. OAL length is still up in the air as this thing has only been shot 22 times, and that includes the barrel brake in with gun juice. So I have a lot of load development ahead of me. Right now my fire-forming load is 93gr of Reloader-25 It’s shooting really well at 500 yards at about ½ MOA that’s why I let my dad use it. The reason for going with a rifle built for the RUM case instead of the Lapua case is availability. I already have the .338 AM and cases tried up on them for a while. Than I have my 270 AM, know I hear my 169.5 and 195 wildcat bullets for it might be no more. So I figured the .338 UltraMaxx would best for me. I can get RUM brass and the 300 SMK anytime I need it.
