Hi there, Hoping to get some insight into how the 260 Hammer Hunters are running in fierce rifles. With the component shortage I am trying to cut down on load development. I tried 250 grain accubonds, which were about 3/4 MOA, which is just not acceptable for the cost of the rifle. I think I...

My factory barreled 338 RUM outrun both my Lapuas by 75 fps... that's not much and it's due in part to a fast barrel and a wyatts 4.1 mag well. If you don't want to go lapua, I would go rum or edge-simply because I don't see the 300 rum case ever dying. Not sure if the same can be said about the...

I have an edge and have handled the Rivals. Both are excellent and you can definitely count on the accuracy guarantee, but sometimes they don't like Bergers as they are throated for barnes/accubonds, but often shoot well with eld-x. The quality is top notch IMO, definitely not quite there with...

this sounds interesting.... I have to check out the b.c's. If its in the G1 .6 area it should be a smoke show. I have run the 250 bergers... they were awesome and I actually preferred them in my .338 RUM, but they were impossible to find so I went back to the 300's.

Wow... a lot of support for the Hammer. I might have to give them a try if there is one that will stabilize in a 1-10. It seems other than the custom bullets, its all about the same. I may just run the 300 grainers again if the Hammers dont work out. They have never really been bad, just a...

I know this question was beat to death in years past, and I settled on the 300 grain Berger OTM for years in my .338 RUM. I haven't seen much recently though. This year I bought a Fierce Carbon Edge in .338 LM as it is magazine fed and a lot more refined than my Remington 700, and... I just...

Some really good advice thus far. The PRC is sweet, but I think you may want to wait if you don't hand load. I would sink more into the scope on an current rifle. While I like more magnification, I would rather have something with no more than 3 on the low end of the variable, very good glass...

VX6 is 2399 up here... no go on that one. I have checked out the nightforce, but would really like to go FFP. I think I'm going to try to find a gen 1 PST and just tape the windage turret! Thanks for all the suggestions.

$1330 CAD for the pst gen 2. I wasn't overly impressed with the one I looked at though. I thought the turrets were mushy and the overall scope quality wasn't that much better for the how much they ask for them. And they are nearly 27 OZ

Hi everyone. I am looking to find a compact light feature rich ffp scope in the 2.5-10 range. I have in my mind the Vortex PST (gen 1) 2.5-10x40 ffp with ebr-1 mill reticle. I want to keep the scope under 20oz and under $1000 US (I am in Canada and everything is 30%-50% more here). The features...

If I go 300 WSM I will be going with a Sako. There really is no comparison in quality, at least form a production rifle. For the cost, I may just pick up a used XCR rem 700 and have the barrel cut. Put it in a wildcat stock and call it a day. The cost is just a little too much for me to go...

I have looked into the .325 WSM. Its a little more popular around here than the Federal. I just don't see it doing anything special enough to bother with the lack of ammo availability. I think that so far my best bet is still a tikka t3 lite in 300 wsm or .338 win mag, or find another Remington...

the .30-06 has definitely crossed my mind too. I just have a fondness of .338's

Thanks for the input guys. There are some great suggestions here. I guess I should have been a little more clear though. I need to stick to more common calibers. I am a B.C resident, so being in Canada firearm components/ammunition is substantially more difficult to find. I travel to northern...

Hi all. I am going to be buying another rifle soon. I would like something in a backpacking weight. I have a bit of a fondness for .338 cal rifles, which don't really go hand in hand with light or short. I already have a .338 RUM that is 9.5 lbs and a 18 lbs Lapua, with a 26"+brake and a 28"...
