    My first RUM


    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

    RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

    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.
