[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1160514, member: 2011"] OP, Your post got my attention regarding two things. 338 RUM/300 grain velocity and the MagnetoSpeed The factory Rem 700 in 338 RUM that I had, gave the durn thing away and I miss her, was accurate with any bullet and a wide selection of powders. Beta Chrony velocity hung around 2735. A load of 101.5 grains of 50 BMG gave the 2735 velocity and out of your mind accuracy. I don't know of a cartridge that I would rather have than the 338 RUM! Received a MagnetoSpeed V3 from Len a week ago and all I can say is that it's life changing. At least for me. I've never had this much confidence in velocity data. As you found, my measured velocity now matches the drop chart velocity! That certainly says something about the MagnetoSpeed and Bryan's bc data.:) For myself, hunting on the outer edge of grizzly country, I wouldn't have a problem with having a Berger chambered for the "infrequent" grizz encounter. However since I no longer have the 338 RUM I'll just have to trust the 375 AM, but Berger makes no bullets for it.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
