[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 603345, member: 505"] Michael, the 338 RUM is exactly the same with that same kind of performance. Those same loads in a 338 RUM and you are in business. The 340 wby and 338-378 wby are also extremely accurate and have particular loads that are just dead on that I have used since the 70's. Those charachteristics are not just privy to the 338-300 RUM. When I did all the testing with the 300 RUM case back in 1998-99 necking it from 7mm to 358 every caliber shot extremely well and was one of the least finicky cases to deal with I have ever fooled with in a cartridge that size. The RUM case is just a shooter in every caliber I necked it to. But if the rifle is put together properly and the barrel is a shooter it is going to shoot no matter what cartridge you chamber it in. The 338-300 RUM will not be any more inherently accurate than any other cartridge if the rifle is done right. The 338 RUM is actually better than the 338-300 RUM from all the ones I tested. That is why the two original 338-300's I kept from that 98 time period have collected dust ever since the 338 RUM came out in 2001 and I began testing it. The 338 RUM tested out to be a better overall cartridge. [/QUOTE]
