Thanks for the response RH. That sounds like more effort than I'd like on the 375. But the 338 sounds interesting. You have a preferred load, or you still running the 260s?

I know this is old so hopefully it gets to someone who can tell me, how much case prep is needed for the 338 or 375 RBH cartridges? What is the Alaskan Hunter option? I didn't see it on the website. TIA

Leupold and Warne are local to me. And I really prefer supporting local type businesses, I just want to make sure my 300 RUM doesn't have altering effects on my scope mounting system.lol

Thanks guys, definitely helps out. lot more options than I had found.

For the guys running 35mm scopes which rings are you running or have had problems with? Looking at using Warne or Pure Precision. Any experience with these? Have leupold now And want something lower. Was hoping Hawkins would have some out by now but I have not seen any available.

I enjoy my 325wsm abolt. Shoots good for me to 700yds or so which is my limit with this setup. Has a mpi stock and 4-14× on it. Killed a bull last season at 308yds 1 shot through lungs and off shoulder. It does suffer on bullet options but 200gr accubonds and partitions shoot under 5/8" for me...

280AI,270 Winchester, 25/06. All 3 hold promise to me. And each get used quite often when headed for deer trip.

I have the javelin ,rugged ridge, Harris and the mod Evolution. and have used a hatch. I prefer the javelin for my light rifles. its quick to deploy easy to leave in pocket and light. the mount is small and barely noticeable. but I wouldn't leave it on to pack around. I dont trust the magnets...

what are the load SDs? or how do I find them?

very nice setup ,accurate, light and looks good too!

how do you decide between the choice of a bushing die or a mandrel? currently I have a basic 3 die set from Redding. 280 AI. I am wanting to get a more consistent setup.

I chose the 26 Nosler. with some of these heavier bullets becoming available I like it, as a long range deer cartridge. now if lots of shooting and target plinking start coming into the considerations I believe I am leaning to the 6.5-284 or maybe the PRC?

Would you share your 280AI 175gr load and velocity? Was planning on running 168s but this bullet is interesting me?

Bump Kevin is building me a 300 RUM currently

I am wondering what twist will be needed for 250gr/153gr. I have a 300RUM in progress and its early enough to change my barrel twist? will 1-9 work or 1-8 be better choice?
