Glad to see you joined the conversation! I started with the first box of bullets I could find to reload for my new purchase with was my first .338. It happened to be a .338 RUM and the box of bullets was a box of 210gr Swift Sciroccos it was the only box in town at the time that weighed over 185grs with I thought was pretty sad. But I was in a hurry because I had a late season deer tag that was beggin to be filled and I only had 2 weeks to work up a load for my rifle and fill that tag! So I settled on 97.5grs. of RL25 and never looked back it shoots under 1/2 an inch and hits like the hammer of Thor actually 4925ftlbs at the muzzel. Then I feel head over heels nuts for my .338 RUM. I played with it all year thisyear and my favorite 2 loads are a 250 Hornady Intlk at3000fps loaded with 90.0grs of IMR 7828 and a 225 Hornady Intlk at 3150 with 92.0grs of IMR7828. Both very accurate loads. Now that I've tried this .338 RUM in a Model 700 LSS I find to be my go to rifle. When asked what will I shoot with my .338RUM by folks here at home being that the popular opinion around here is that a .338 RUM is an artilliery piece I always tell them praire dogs if feel like and that usally keeps other questions about my .338 at bay. I bought and been shooting my .338 RUM since December 0f 04 so I'm still just havin all kinds of fun with it!
