[QUOTE="mike33, post: 647387, member: 14195"] Jeff, i purchased an older 338 rum sps nib that ws won several years ago at a gun bash. First i had a de brake installed along with a b&c alaskian stock then a rifle basix replacing the x trigger along with a wyatt box. I wanted it as a back up elk rifle to my edge but wanted something slimmed down weight wise. I chose the sieera 250 grain bt spitzer. I started out testing with 95,96, and 97 graind of h-1000. Everything that day sucked shooting as high a a 1 3/4 group at 100. I went back to basics seeing primer marks on the 97 grains so iloaded up with 96 grains. I than seated the bullet out farther and changed rest. I shot 3 3 shot groups that day one 900. 550, and a one group in the 3's. Later thinking i was having trouble with techinque on my one rest but putting things togeather a very impressing factory rife. I had a problem the other day i fired 2 shots touching than 3rd shot went inch low fired a fourth shot and cut that hole. Ileft barrel cool down and went back to first group so i think that was me. I just loaded up some 300 smk's this evening with 91 grains of h-1000 i thought maybe that light barrel would be tough to tame but im going to try the 300 any way.
