[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 78039, member: 3745"] My HS Precision 338 RUM finally arrived via Fed-X last Sat!! I first tried Swift 210grn Scirocco's pushed by IMR7828. The results were OK but nothing to get excited about. I switched to Barnes TXS 210grn and RL22. As advertised, I am now getting 1/2" groups at 100yds and well under sub-moa groups out to 700yds! My long range groups are in the 1/2 moa range except for two slight fliers. I think both are the result of the barrel heating up as they were both the 3rd shots of three shot groups. Of course it could have just been my shooting. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] I began to let the barrel cool longer before my third shot on the remaining groups and the problem went away. I will have to test this out a little more another time. The barrel is pretty lightweight and heats up very quickly. I did have a problem on the first trip to the range with the safety. It stuck in the off position. After working with it for a bit I decided that if I was going to have to send it back, I would send it back really broke. I pulled on the safety real hard and it finaly moved back to the safe position. I flipped it back and forth several times with no prolems, and have continued to use the rifle and work the safety on and off with no further problems.
