[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1503583, member: 5219"] Put a 22" #2 Lilja SS on a tang safety Ruger M77 chambered in 338 RCM. Mag box lengthened to 3.1" Stock is a long discontinued McMillan ultralight. Weight with scope is 7 1/4 lb. It has taken two cow elk shooting the 225 accubond @ 2775 fps. Current load is the 300 gr Berger @ 2350 fps which is extremely accurate. Did some research before using the 300 gr bullet: Broz reported taking some animals with impact velocities and wound channels using the 300 gr berger with his 300 Norma. Thanks for this information Broz [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/seeking-big-game-results-using-338-300-gr-berger-hybrid.80968/[/URL] from a different thread: "...bedded cow at 816 yards. [B]Impact velocity was 1975 fps[/B]. Cow was slightly facing away. Entrance was in the crease behind the near shoulder. Exit was far shoulder. I was kinda surprised that the exit was only 1 1/2" or so. But this exit is deceiving. Note the bone fragments on he hair around the hole.

The 300 gr bullet sent from muzzle at a mundane 2350 fps @ 8000 ft will still have more velocity than above at 750 yds ( 2042 fps) which is farther than I would want to shoot anyway.
