[QUOTE="*WyoWhisper*, post: 21193"] [b]Attn: DC !! "?\'s" about the 300 RUM and velocity[/b] I know we have e-mailed countless times but I thought I would ask here so everyone can take in the info. Ok I have pretty much voted out the 338 RUM due to recoil. However I am nearly ready to give the nod to the 300 RUM. My question is how much velocity do you think I might be capable of out of a 28" tube with the 240 gr. SMK? I also wanted to know what twist rate you would reccommend? If possible can I get a twist rate that would be suitable for the 220 gr. SMK's as well as the 240 gr. SMK's So everyone knows I am limited to about 28" ( not including the muzzle break ) due to the fact I will need to travel by horseback throught pretty tough mountain trails to get to the REALLY GOOD areas. Trying to find someone to make a custom scabbard that suits me as well as a l o n g enough horse to carry the gun isn't as easy as ya think [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] as always DC thanks in advance ...... 1700 + yards not a bad shot ... musta been dead calm... some of us wait until the wind howls just to up the challenge a little.
