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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Gun is listed on GunBroker at the following: Weatherby Mark V Accumark 338-378 : Bolt Action Rifles at GunBroker.com
Here is a pic of the grouping from this rifle with factory ammunition. As you can see she's nearly a half MOA rifle with factory ammunition!
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.
Final posting for sale and then I'm going to post on Gunbroker. Will be posting on auction next Friday. If someone is interested in the rifle, I also have reloading components including dies and freshly annealed brass. Once rifle is sold reloading components will then be posted on auction but...
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...
