    Was the 6.5 cm really a necessity?

    This thread has gotten off topic but interesting to the point that I'll throw my 2 cents in. Prior to winning a Rem 700 Sendero in 300RUM back in 2003 at a raffle, my deer rifle for 15 years prior to that was an Enfield 303 British. I used factory ammo when I first got it and then once I started...

    Labradar?

    Since this has been out for awhile, can someone tell me if you start a string of shots can you come back to that string again and shoot more on it? My biggest beef with every chrono I've had is that I have to close out the string of shots and move to a new one when I change rifles. I'm often...

    Is the 300 RUM Dead??

    I agree with JECustom, any round from a rifle direct from the factory with handloads that will put the first two bullets nearly through the same hole at 200yds and the third just off a little bit (still under 1/2 MOA) due to barrel warming is a keeper in my book. I love my 300RUM. Even more so...

    The Search for the Best Scope

    I have to agree with FEENIX on this based on experience. I saw the same thing with Bushnell and a few other <$200 scopes. Many years ago in SD on a deer hunt I drug two rifles out with me because there were also a lot of coyotes around. My 300 RUM for deer with a Leupold VX-3 4.5-14LR and my 204...

    Just started reloading, what die set

    Valleysnyper, everyone is giving you great advice as to the dies. you only need a 2 die set (full length sizing die/bullet seating die). Additional dies aren't going to give you more accuracy, they're just a different way of doing things. No need to purchase a stuck case remover now either. I...

    Eld-x vs berger...

    Maybe so. The 143gr ELD-X performed similarly on deer in this cartridge as the 120gr Nosler BT's performed out of my 260 Rem. Next cartridge I will try them in is 26 Nosler next year on deer. I'm so used to the deer dropping in their tracks with my 300. I also plan on playing around with the...

    Eld-x vs berger...

    This doesn't surprise me. I suspect that's why Hornady factory ammunition only loads the 220gr for the 300 RUM. My experience with the ELD-X thus far has only been the 143gr 6.5mm bullets. They both did their job but the animals did travel some before going down. The one deer it passed...

    SOLD/EXPIRED FS 338-378 Weatherby Mark V

    Sorry, $1200. And of course buyer will get first pick at any of the reloading equipment. I'd also consider a Henry Big Boy Deluxe Engraved 3rd Edition .357 MAG/.38 SPL Model Number - H006MD3 as an even trade.

    SOLD/EXPIRED FS 338-378 Weatherby Mark V

    Sorry I don't get on here very often so didn't see the replies. I am not the original owner. I don't know how many rounds the original owner put through the rifle but I've put maybe 160+ rounds through it over the past maybe 6-7 years I've had it. It's been very well cared for. I do have a...
