thats a good shooter for sure! Ive only been able to achieve 2996 consistently with the 230's from my RUM. With powder shortages, I may tinker with N570! Good luck with the sale RUM Man!

You got lucky, I've been trying to find Varget for quite a while. The empty feeling when you realize the 2nd jug of powder on the back shelf is empty also. You're strong willed for being able to hold back!

I love shooting the 115's out of my 25-06! Once I got a load settled, I started shooting it a lot more. Shot last weekend and was impressed with the mid-range group it printed. 3 shot group @ 400 yds The same load works very well on coyotes as well, but they do sound different on impact.

Im glad some others share the love for the 375 RUM. Sent a few long range last weekend. With the wet ground, bullet impact from first 2 rounds made a large crater.

how does it shoot? Take standard forend?

After watching nice deer all summer and into mid september, I had high hopes of getting a chance at one (of the 5) shooter bucks I'd been seeing. Every available evening was spent shooting the bow, tuning the bow, or stalking groundhogs. The groundhog population is WAY down now. 7 got the...

Yea it’s an older 788. Shoot good still!

Thanks! I have really enjoyed load development and shooting this bullet. Yes, I shoot these single feed. For the type of hunting I'll be doing for this rig, Single feed works fine for me.

thats a 7mm-08 beside it with 140 nosler BT

Yes, it has a brake on it. Fired 3 shots at 725 on sunday off the bench wearing a thin t-shirt and no problems. Drop back to 270g "blinkers" and its fun to shoot.

I'm running 300gr Cutting Edge bullets out of my 375 RUM somewhere around 2950. Ran it out to 725 Sunday afternoon. Recoil is stout, but its worth it!

Any of y'all have any experience with a LH twist barrel? My 25-06 shoots like a dream and noticed its the only LH twist gun I own. Ran it out to 800 yards today on some vicious rocks that were too big. Here's a pic taken from breech end of my encore. You may have to zoom in, but it looks LH...

Loaded up more ammo this evening after dark. Wanted to try a new vantage point, but working until dark makes that difficult.

negative JBS, just some cheap camo vinyl tape to get rid of the glare when hunting in the sunshine. What does make it interesting though is that the barrel is a LH twist. Maybe a fluke?

I'm amazed at what the 115 did at 125 and 175 yds. I've shot them with 230 bergers out of my 300 RUM with no exit (surprised me too). 230 berger running 2996 fps hit a coyote in the chest as it was running straight at me. Think I could feel jacket or cup in hindquarter, but was NOT going to...
