My first RUM

[Elgin]

Just finished my first RUM build this weekend and WOW! This thing is a blast to shoot! I was thinking about a getting a Lapua, but then stumbled across a great deal on 338 RUM brass and dies, so I decided to go that direction. Glad I did.

Savage 110 centerfeed.
McGowen 26" 1/9 twist bull barrel with break.
HS Precision with bottom metal off a savage Lapua.
AICS 338 CIP mags
Sightron SIII 8-32x56
Blackhawk 20 moa rail
Burris rings
GG&G bipod

70 rounds per pound if you're loading them like Deano.

Most normal reloaders are getting a little more per pound.

Nice looking rig. Good luck with it.

I actually only get 63 rounds per pound, but I did not want to scare or discourage the guy,LOL 7000gr divided by 111gr per load = 63 rounds

I went 82gr behind a 300gr SMK for my first load, so I'm good for 85 per pound at that rate.

I'm thinking I need a few more pounds of powder.
