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.
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.
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.
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.
No shoulder or leg bone , just 1 rib. The deer was on the move quartering towards me when bullet impacte. I since have harvested 3 more deer with this combo and yet to have similar result.
200 yard mule deer buck. 6.5-300 weatherby 140 grain nosler accubond at 3250 fps. This is the entrance. Heart destroyed,lungs were soup and bullet never did exit nor did I find any fragment. Deer traveled 40 yards and succumbed.
This is a group from my 300 weatherby with 200 grain nosler partitions moving 3040 fps. I feel conf that this can handle anything in North America , but my back up is a 338 rum shooting 225 accubond at 3100 fps.
So the better half has harvested two bighorn sheep,first was a ewe shot was 186 yards slightly quarter towards . 30-06 with 180 partition, sheep dead right there. Second was a juvenile ram shot was 268 yards quarter away 6.5-300 weatherby with a 140 grain accubond. Sheep went sick instantly...
I have two 338 rums. Both are shooters if I do my part. I have no experience with the lapua and don’t have any plans for it. Hands down this caliber flattens elk at ranges far and near. 1 rifle shoots 225 accubond at 3050 fps, other prefers 210 partition at 3150. first load is 92 7828 others...
