[QUOTE="HoytemanPA, post: 29513, member: 286"] Did some side by sides with the 30-378 factory accumark at 820. Had a little wind coming up the valley which caused groups to start 29 inches from aimpoint with the RUM and 20 inches with the Weatherby. It took 8 more clicks of elevation with the RUM and then printed 5 with a 5 inch high 13 inch wide group. After compensating for windage I fired just 3 with the 30-378. It reminded me that it still has some use left it in and put those 3 in 2.57. I still do not know how as it did similarly at 400, 2.25 I think with this load combination. 106 gr Retumbo and 200 gr Accubonds. I still have 3 finalized load recipes to test at the 820 in the 30-378 but I'm quite sure it is going to stay in its present configuration for awhile. In all fairness I dont have the bubble level thing on the RUM, these are brand new never fired cases, it kicks worse than the 30-378, and I haven't developed loads for it as I have for two years with the Weatherby. Needless to say at this point in time, I am pretty happy with both of them. HPA [/QUOTE]
