Run it in my 28 Nosler and my 338 rums, love it

183 rounds of 30-378 today , yesterday was 98 pieces of 300 weatherby , 100 pieces of 340 weatherby and 34 pieces of 28 nosler.

Mr. Black bear that took a 250 nosler accubond to the noggin at 267 yards. It was a bang flop. Roughly guesstimate on weight was over 350#. Aged at 7 years, scoring of the skull is pointless when I blew the back half off.

Yakima area welcomes you.

I walked out one day with a pair of whites boots out of Spokane Washington, the smoke jumper versions that had hardly been worn. $5.38 is what I paid for a$350+ plus of boots in ‘98. I think I used up all my luck on that one.

Buddy at work bought one, hasn’t received it yet in a Christensen ridgeline. Smaller cartridge than I expected when I looked at the box of ammo on his desk. I have a 7 rem mag that shoots Berger 168’s to a .311 group and 175 partitions within .75. Plus a 28 nosler that I simply feel like it’s...

I love both my 338 rums. For North American deer species yes the are overkill. Black bear and elk do not prefer the cartridge. A frames are tougher than nails as well. I would venture to say that eland would be a worthy adversary.

if you find some it would be a good idea to buy it. I haven’t seen any in 4 years. My main elk rifle is a 338 rum 225 accubond at 3050 fps fueled by 92 grains of 7828. Been my go to load for 20 years and now it’s not available.

7828 has been “ discontinued “ I have 100 rounds of that recipe,loaded already for the fall. Also an additional 150 of the h1000 recipe.

Here’s another to look at , 300 wby, 200 grain partition 83 grains imr 7828. 3040 fps. I also get the same results with 81 grains of h1000 and a 200 grain accubond. Speeds within 2 fps of each other on powders. Weatherby brass , fed 215 gm primers. She’s a shooter.

Ready for the hunt with htk safaris.

No more picnic baskets.

I have been considering that exact thing. I have 2 338 rums and currently searching for a 7 rum or 300 rum in left hand to build the exact same thing. Not sure I will ever get to Africa but I’ll have the gun built before then.

I don’t see an age difference of meat quality in deer , being whitetail or mule deer. So cut right away. Elk if I can hang them, 11 days seems to be the best I have came across.
