[QUOTE="TopPin, post: 2658178, member: 109070"] Well after a few days of testing a new bullet, and trueing the drop data I finally got to see how this rifle performs with a 196 copper prototype. So far the speed was shockingly impressive leaving the muzzle at 3356 FPS with no pressure signs and a standard deviation of 8.6 fps. Very pleased with that on virgin ADG brass. To be honest my main concern with anything is performance on game, and so far it’s a winner. The new 300RUM has performed flawlessly, and the accuracy has been excellent. The first bull, without snow in the photo was harvested at 486 yards by my good friend Meagan. She continues to stays true to being the queen of one and done. Harvesting yet another bull with a 300RUM. If you zoom in you can see 3 different exit wounds on her bull. Bull shot quartering towards, bullet path entered behind front shoulder and passed thru the lungs, liver, and finally exiting mid stomach. The second bull in the snow was harvested quarter ing away at 381 yards, with a photo of what was left of the lungs. The whitetail was harvested by Jakalin who is smaller than most 4th graders at a height of 4’11 and probably 112 lbs with her boots filled with water. Not a long shot to some but was 260 yards. Point being when you have a well balanced rifle, a solid muzzle break, anyone in my opinion can shoot a 300 RUM. To me it is not as much of a recoil problem when they are built correctly as the noise due to the break that is intimidating to shooters. When the Can finally shows up it will be even more of a joy to shoot. Looking forward to more product testing and trigger time behind this rifle. Plenty of season and tags left to fill.
