[QUOTE="Lefty G-gear, post: 1713100, member: 26902"] I've had a couple .338 RUMs - had muzzle-brakes installed - and they shot good - but :D after shooting at the bench (10-rds.) , i got a bit of an affect - concussion from the blast! - 102-grains of Retumbo and a Nosler 210-gr. Partition shot sub-MOA (over 3,100-fps), but a regular .338 Winchester Magnum can do almost the same (3,000-fps) with less powder n blast! (with 70 or so grains). = I like the .338 WM instead! - No muzzle-brake needed. I got rid of the RUMs. And, my friend's cheap stock Mossberg .338 WM shoots about 1/2-inch groups!
