I'll check over the weekend and let you know, we can probably figure out how to get it to you.

Let's hope they do! Hearing scattered reports on springers.

Sad how the Rem Ultra Mag lineup kinda crashed and burned.

They were very well designed, very powerful, hunting cartridges. I had a 300 RUM for a while, but needed either a little heavier rifle, or a muzzle brake, or a little less cartridge... Swapped it out for a 300 WSM, which is from another line of cartridges that didn't have the hoped-for success, though they too were really well designed.

I always thought the 338 RUM & 375 RUM were the best of the RUM series, making good use of all that powder capacity to propel big hunting bullets at excellent velocity. And now, it's tough just to find brass to keep feeding those rifles. Dang.

I took a quick look at all my online component suppliers. No 338 RUM brass in stock.

Another reason to stick with the more popular cartridges I guess, though it's fun to have an "oddball" or two as well.

This is new company making brass http://www.atlasdg.com/index.cfm/ID/2/B ... idgeCases/
I bought some 6.5 Creed for my brother for Christmas. Seemed good to me with normal prep work as with any brass.

I checked with the above manufacturer and they are out but will be running some soon they say. The 338 rum is a fantastic round for elk and moose. it will do a great job of over kill on lesser animals but dead is dead. It is really a hammer on Elk in the 500 to 700 yard range.

I'm an advocate of deader as well. Just left my favorite gun and bullet store. Plenty of 300 RUM. No 338 RUM.
They also had 348 brass.

You should be able to convert 300 RUM brass. Just run it thru a full length sizer and trim to length. Go slow and use imperial sizing wax.

A poster on Longrangehunting.com posted (yesterday) a WTS ad for 250 pieces of new Remington 338RUM brass.

That would be enough brass to outlast your rifle barrel.
