Re: Got Some Berger 338 300 grain bullets!!
[font:Comic Sans MS][/font]Hey there,
I just registered here and am Noob to the extreme. The acronyms around here make my swim, but your Cognomen got my attention!
I am beginning to look for a replacement rifle for my Rem. 700BDL, which was chambered in .338 RUM.
Whilst I just stuck to the basic numbers in reloading it (82gr IMR 4350, pushing a 225gr Hornady SST), I fell in love with the RUM.
I've come to hate the Lapua, the mention of it, and the ubiquitous Choir preaching it.
Why? Because everybody and their brother thinks it's the Feline's Vocalization, it's made overseas (by and large, while I love Finland and the Finns-Rovaniemi is still in a tie with Wien and Porto for Top City in all of Europe..., how about some American Made support, from Americans?)
What I've decided to attempt, is to find a solidly built, reliable, and reasonably priced Semi-Auto in .338 RUM.
So far I've gotten close, finding RND Edge Rifles in Longmont, CO, which produces a nicely built (as far as one can tell from photos) rifle in .300 RUM.
They also build similar rifles in the hated Lapua, and in a caliber they call the .375 Super Magnum (no idea, I just found the company last night online), the .408 Cheytac and of course, a 50 BMG.
My reason for posting to you is to hopefully find out if you've come across anyone building a quality Semi-Auto in .338 RUM?
Thanks for your time...and sorry for the belly-aching....I'm just so tired of hearing/seeing the cheering for the Lapua.
Later Gator.
