    Re: 300 ultra mag Make up your mind...am I banned or not? Facts? I guess I'll just use the results from the 08 IBS Nationals? I guess that ought to serve as some facts as published results for everything but IBS 1000yd matches are hard to come by...

    300 ultra mag

    Re: 300 ultra mag Surgeon or Stiller Predator are two very good ones. Predator is a bit less pricey. $750 vs $1350. Stiller also has a TAC model that has a few upgrades for &775. www.viperactions.com is Stiller's website. Personal preference on your barrel. I like Kriegers and...

    300 ultra mag

    Re: 300 ultra mag I would strongly consider roscoe for the build you are wanting to do. He seems to have a bit of experience with the 300RUM, which seems to be the frontrunner here, and that means something. In 1k benchrest smiths are kinda known for the case they do, although they chamber...

    Re: 300 ultra mag You've got a great start with good optics. Do some reading and play around with any number of ballistic calculators on the web and get an idea of what ranges you want to get and what velocities it takes to get there. Research load date from any number of reload vendors...

    Re: 300 ultra mag I just find it utterly amazing that you know absolutely what my thoughts are! I mean now that's a talent. You ought to set up a tent at a circus or something with those skills. Come on now, how have I ever come across to you as thinking I am better then you? Because you...

    300 ultra mag

    Re: 300 ultra mag Well the 300WSM will have a longer life then the 300RUM, but not be the best game rifle at 1500. If game at 1500 is your, well..game, then the 300RUM, or a 300 Ackley would be the better route. The 300 Ackley load is right around 80 odd grains of powder, so you will get...

    300 ultra mag

    Re: 300 ultra mag Sounds like an arms race going on there! At 1500 I dont think you are giving up much to the Barrett, especially with a well built bolt rifle. Many top notch gunsmiths out there can set you up. Tooley, Baity, Springman, Dave Bruno, GAP, Gordy are a few names that come to...

    300 ultra mag

    Re: 300 ultra mag Dang...you must be one of those guys Sarver was talking about. Mmm cant say I ever considered you a friend, so you must not be one of those "friends" I think I have. Honestly, I can't remember anyone using those ploys and tactics since the 5th or 6th grade. Anyway...since...

    300 ultra mag

    Re: 300 ultra mag deerkllr, I've never had a rifle chambered for it. However, I can ask a shooting buddy of mine that has had one and get what info he has. If memory serves me correctly I am thinking about 900-1000 rounds is what he got out of it. Again that was competition accuracy, your...

    Re: 300 ultra mag The 308 is even further down on energy then the 300WSM. You might be able to push the 210g bullets to 2500fps with a 308, but that would be on the top end of the load.

    300 ultra mag

    Re: 300 ultra mag OK, then why the heck did you ask? But in any case the 300 RUM has a max load about 40g higher then the 300WSM. Again if better brass were available it might fit the bill. Heck, who knows, there might be some better quality stuff out there now. Anyway, I dont think...

    Re: 300 ultra mag Yep sure does. The 6.5 works pretty good for me too.

    Re: 300 ultra mag Black stuff..goes in cases along with a primer and projectile. Goes bang when the primer is set off. Works great in a 6.5-284.

    300 ultra mag

    Re: 300 ultra mag Alot more powder, about half again as much. The biggest downfall for the RUM is quality brass and of course barrel life. 300WSM is gonna start falling short of having much energy left as a counterpoint. Figure in the ballpark of 600 ft-lbs. Look at the 308 Baer or 300...
