I finally popped my 338RUM's cherry. I shot a hog tonight. He was about 125yds quartering away. Sad part of this story is that I wasn't using a Nosler bullet. Anway, the laoad was 87gns of RL-22 pushing a Barnes 225TSX. I will get pictures and hog weight tomorrow. I barely felt any recoil. The 338RUM is an XCR, with a Rifle Basics trigger set at 2.5.
Now I can set it aside to concentrate on getting the 225 ,250AB load worked up for it, maybe even the new 200gn ETips I got this week.
