Here are my LR rifles. From L to R, 7mmRUM (150ET), 300RUM (200AB), 338RUM (250AB), 375RUM (260AB): I am considering a thumbhole stock for the 338RUM though, dang thing kicks like a large mule, needs a little more weight to it, plus the XCR stock is not much for eye candy.

Primarily elk, but it has taken a couple of hogs and a muley.

My '06 didn't like 165ABs very much. Went to 180ABs an WOW, what a difference. It loved them.

Greg, here's my 7 RUM recipes: Bullet Powder & charge Primer COL Brass & Trim 150ET Retumbo 91 GM215M 3.655 Rem 2.83 160AB Retumbo 91 GM215M 3.635 Rem 2.83 Regardless of magazine length, there's no way I can get the above two bullets even close to the lands on my Rem 700 SPS...

Take a look at the Vortex Viper HD binos.

The 30-06 I have in the Sporter model is a shooter as well. The target from my 180ET load: The target from my 160AB load:

I have a 375RUM, it's the Remington LSS model (laminate stock, stainless). It is a tad heavy, not quite as much as my thumbhole stocked 300RUM, but I find it just as easy to shoot as my 300RUM. My 375RUM is pushing 260ABs at 2990 FPS.

My 300RUM has become pretty much my main rifle. I like how it feels and it's easy to shoot, but does get a little heavy at the end of the day though. Wow, looking at picture I took, I've had it 9 years now..... :shock:

Rem 300RUM Brass trimmed to 2.83 95gn of Retumbo Nosler 200AB COL of 3.635 Fed GM215M primers

Finding any kind of RUM brass is rather difficult right now.

I'm going to develop a load next spring using Nosler 338RUM brass and 250ABs. Managed to get 200 pieces of their 2nd brass through SPS. Dang spendy stuff..... :shock: :shock: :shock:

That's what I have, just beware, it kicks like a mule.....LOL

Lot of good info here. I've contemplated getting some 30 Cal 190 ABLR 2nds from SPS to try in my 300RUM, but I keep thinking why???? The 200ABs have performed exceptionally well, every animal they have hit has gone down quickly. Why mess with something that works? Plus, where I hunt and shot all...

H110 or Win 296 work well.

I think I would have to buy a 27 Nosler rifle if they made one. All the others would be basically replicating what my ultramags can do.

Well, that makes more sense now. Thanks

You're going to have problems shooting a 6.5mm bullet out of a barrel already made for a .277 bullet. Also, when did Nosler come out with a 27 Nosler? I know of the 26 & 28 Nosler?

I'd like to see some 375 260ABs in the blem bullet section so I can stock up on them some more. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Since I own and load for all 4 RUMs, I can say that the magazine is the limiting factor for OAL on all four. In fact, with my 7 RUM, I can't seat the bullets out far enough to touch the lands even if the magazine space would allow it. The longest OAL I can get is 3.67" and still function...

I've only used Nosler brass in 30-06, but haven't had any problems seating GM210M Fed primers. Time will tell if I have issues with my 338RUM brass I just got.
