Where can I get a good coated cleaning rod for my new 32" barrel. The one I have now is only 30 inches.

I planned on sighting in my rifle to different ranges and recording the MOA and using that in CO. Where we are going in Maybell, it is 7000ft elevation. The "guide" told me to sight my rifle in at 100 here in FL, and it would be dead on at 300 yards. Is this guy crazy because I didnt know...

I have a model 700 laminated stock. Are they going to have to make the chanel bigger so the barrel will fit?

What brand barrel is best for the 300RUM. I am looking for accuracy and performance (velocity). What is the optimal length? How much velocity will I gain?

I just got a letter in the mail from the R&R ranch in CO. It states all the gear necessary to bring and mentions that a recommended weight of 150-165gr bullet will be ideal for long range shots. No reccomended calliber. I was going to load 180 partition or 200accubond, but should I consider...

Okay, I have a neighbor with an open cow field. I can practice to about 700yards which I guess would be adequate. WHICH BIPOD IS THE BEST???

Maybe I was a little vauge with my question. I do have a rangefinder, I reload and I have a chronograph. I usually just sight my rifle in for 300 yards and If anything is out to 400, I hold a few inches over. I have only taken whitetail out to 400. So Elk is new for me. I just got this long...

I am going to CO as many of you are and this being my first time i have a few questions. Fist of all what is th best way to dial in the ranges for elk. I have 300RUM with the Leopold Long range scope along with a range finder. Is there a crtain way I can just find the range, say 400 yards...

Re: Who\'s Gearing up for Colorado? We are heading out to Maybell, CO for the November 1st. We are driving from FLORIDA! Im taking my 300RUM with the leopold 6.5X20X50 Long range scope. Hopefully it will be a success. This is my first time out west. Anything I should know about?

25-06, I have a 300RUM LSS. This thing is a beast compared to my 06. I dont know how big you are, but im 18 and weigh about 165 and this gun knocked my socks off with 180gr partitions. I opted for the muzzlebreak which now kicks less than my 30-06. But its super loud. I was torn between...

Thanks, Appriciate your input, im very curios about this accu-bond.

Barry, How accurate are those 125 grain NP? You can go a little hotter with that load, the book lists a 125gr nosler with 100grains of H4831 listing 3800. Does the slower load work out a little better.

I shoot 165gr out of my 300RUM. I use 100gr of RL25 and get 3/4 inch at 100yards. Might get better if you use 99 or 98 grains but with 100 im getting 3450fps. Pretty quick.

Okay, I just called Nosler and spoke with a technician there. He said that the 200 grain bullet would be better than the 180 and that the accubond and partition are very similar. However, If I were going long range, the accubond would be more superior.

Okay, now you guys have gotton me excited about these accubonds. Are these okay to use on elk or should I use partitions? And should I use 180 or 200 grains from my 300rum?. So where do you get these accubonds??? I cant find them anywhere!!
