[QUOTE="aramarine6, post: 1131940, member: 24685"] Brass availability is a major issue right now. I used to be able to find it everywhere... even during the great brass/powder shortage. My Remington brass is toasted after 4 loadings. Primers literally fall out of the pockets. Which is clearly a problem when brass can't be found and will likely never improve. Remington is limiting brass production to once a year and they only make 2 or 3 rifles in the 338 RUM. Remington has a bad habit of producing a cartridge and then not supporting it by offering few if any rifles in that cartridge. Even loaded ammo is hard to find and most of it is produced by Nosler. With Remington only producing 1 loading which is 250 swift A frame. Great if I was slaying Elk every year... but I use this rifle specifically for long range target shooting. In the end going to a 7mm mag I'll save money on reloading costs, cut my recoil down by half. Which in turn I can get rid of my hideous muzzle brake. Not to mention a lighter weight system should I decide to take it hunting. Yes the barrel will burn up faster but this is something I can live with given the advantages. I'd rather do more shooting than complaining:D [/QUOTE]
