I started out with a 30-06 and ended up with 2 of them. From there it got a 243 Win and then a 280 Rem. I moved up to a 35 Whelen and then down to a 257 Roberts. Then the 338 RUM came along. I’ve taken 100+ animals with it and it’s been my favorite. I do switch it up now to include the 375 H&H...

What glass are you going with for your BAR? A Leupold VX-3 2.5-8x36mm would make for a stellar rig. JD338

A buddy was just telling me about a M71 that might be available but it might be cost prohibitive. Apparently the owner turned down a $2000 offer. The 348 Win is pretty cool. JD338

I’ve actually been thinking of doing something similar on the NE corner of our property so I can plant some white cedar. The fencing would allow the cedars to get established and not get mowed down by the deer. You guys are right that a fence line would be a funnel. Depending on where existing...

Congratulations on the buff. Please share the details JD338

Looks like you’re there. Nicely done. JD338

Wasn’t IMR8133 discontinued? It shot great in my 338 RUM. I actually would have chosen 8133 but I had 2 8 lb jugs of Retumbo on the shelf. JD338

I would agree with Don, $1500 for a stamped 7mm Express in unfired condition seems fair and reasonable. Just be patient and wait for the right buyer. Good luck with the sale. JD338

Great shooting Jorey. Best of luck to you this coming weekend. JD338

I’ve never really noticed a difference in brass weight. What I find interesting is my 338 RUM shoots R-P and Federal nickel plated to the same velocity and POI out to 800 yds. The Federal cases are a few grains heavier. As for powder, RL22 would vary from lot to lot but I resolved that by going...

Delta through Atlanta JD338

All great choices. I’m really liking the Peterson brass I bought for our 6.5 Wby RPMs. JD338

Glad you got it resolved JD338

That big flat meplat will really hit hard and inflict maximum shock on game. I’m loading 10.0 grs Unique with 240 gr poly coated hard cast bullets in my S&W 629 3” and getting 1040 fps. It’s an easy load that’s fun to shoot. JD338

That’s a great load Guy. Should be a fun load to shoot. JD338

Beautiful rifle congrats. What bullet(s) are you thinking of using in your 375? I’ve had excellent results with StaBall 6.5 for 250, 260 and 300 gr weights. Varget gets the nod for 270 gr weight class and H4350 and StaBall 6.5 for 300 gr PT and A Frames. JD338

Congratulations on your successful safari. You took some beautiful animals. Sorry to hear about your guns arriving late but fortunately you got them. That’s my biggest fear when we head to Africa. Thanks for sharing your experiences. JD338

Great advice. Start with the standard FL sizing die and trim to length. A 150 gr PT is an excellent choice for WT deer as well as Antelope and Black Bear. I have personally used this bullet in a 30-06 and my daughter is also using it in her M660 308 Win. The 150-165 gr PTs will shoot just fine...

Thanks Dale. The Triple Duce is pretty cool JD338

The Solid Base bullets are made for deer and they work very well. I’ve used hand loads with the 165 gr in a 308 Win and 140 gr in a 6.5 Wby RPM. The deer piled up pretty quick JD338
