[QUOTE="arch408, post: 2497157, member: 59036"] I have a .338 WM, .300 RUM and a ,338 RUM. Love them all, but definitely not practical on a prairie dog shoot. Only draw back with the RUM’s is cartridge length and recoil in the .338. It is a light weight rifle and I made and installed a muzzle brake on it. I am going to take a mill to them and install a Wyatt’s box and rectify that magazine box situation. I want to build another .338 and am considering the .338 Edge. I have a few hundred rounds of virgin .300 RUM brass. I’ve only shot one elk with my .300 RUM. I had a small window in thick timber to shoot. I shot it in the spine right behind the shoulder with a 180 grain Partition. It took out a section of vertebrae that you could stick your fist in. I wish that I could have recovered the bullet. I haven’t had a chance to use the .338. New Mexico hasn’t seen fit to let me draw an elk tag in well over a decade. [/QUOTE]
