<Sniper>338 RUM, impressed
Finally got to do a little shooting this am. I was really impressed with the groups I got with this rifle. It is a Browning A-Bolt Medallion fitted with a KDF brake and a Pachmayr XXX recoil pad, recoil is nonexistant.The rifle is topped off with a matte black Leupold VX-II 2-7x33mm.
I picked up some cheap bullets for fireforming and break in..Speer 200 grain Hot Cores,,Shoot I was getting sub MOA @ 100 yards with 100 grains of H1000 and this bullet.
I am going to run some of the Accubonds through it next.

BECooleFantastic. The .338 RUM is everything that the .338 Lapua is, only for 1/4 the $$$.

rejpellySniper do you use rcbs components,I use rcbs and Lee ones,results are excellent,using a muzzle break feels (recoil)as a 30-06..

<Sniper>I usually get RCBS or Redding dies. This time I went with a set of the Hornady's and they seem to be doing fine.
