[QUOTE="Bullseye, post: 61700, member: 3351"] JD338, As far as loads go I intend to start off with 200gr Accubonds and a full charge of Retumbo and see where it goes from there with the accuracy. The 200 accubond seams to have it all... high bc, decent weight retention and over 2000 ft/lbs at 700 yards. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to use it for. For whitetails and pronghorns in North Dakota it will probably be set up as my long range option since I really like my 264 Win mag (not a bad long-bomber either) and just got a Kimber 84m in 260 Rem. I'm half-Alaskan too (I sometimes cant believe I moved back to the lower 48) and can think of lots of uses for the RUM up there, although the Sendero is not my first choice for packing up the mountains. I stole my Burris Black Diamond 4-16X50 off my 264 to put on it. I thought the posi-lock might be nice with the recoil of the RUM and it has the ballistic mil-dot and decent eye relief. It's also a rather heavy and bulky scope (3.1 inches longer and 5.9 ounces heavier than a comparible VX-III) so it seemed to make more sense to have it on the RUM and now I can get a lighter scope for the 264. Good luck in your pursuit, Neal [/QUOTE]
