    good backpack

    Check out the REI outlet.com I just picked up a 90 liter REI Mars for about $90 shipped to the store. Haven't used it yet but the quality seems pretty good and REI service is always excellent.

    338 RUM w/Retumbo max load

    So I'm trying to load some 250 ABs with Retumbo. Nosler doesn't list Retumbo in their manual. I found Hodgdon's loading data and Barne's data as well. Hodgdon with a 250 grain Hornady lists a starting load @ 95 grains of Retumbo with a Max load at 101 grains. Barnes for a 250 gr TSX FB...

    OAL too long for magazine?

    Have you heard anything about Accubonds or TTSXs? Either of those are great hunting rounds with good accuracy. Thanks, Scott

    OAL too long for magazine?

    Basically with reviewing reloading forumns and literature it seems that 0.005" to 0.010" off the lands is "standard" for accuracy. I know I'm not shooting BR, but I want to get as much accuracy as possible. And as you say I would prefer to use the magazine (primarily a hunting gun). I guess...

    OAL too long for magazine?

    Well I finally received some brass for my 338 RUM. So now I can start reloading. This is my first time reloading. If I'm doing anything wrong please let me know. So I took my Hornady OAL gauge with modified case and a Nosler 250 AB. So when I measure the OAL (end to end) I get an average of...

    best press for 338AX and other large calibers

    I'm just getting into reloading, but I went with the Forster CO/AX press. From some internet research and friends the reload, it gets very high reviews. I haven't used it yet (waiting for 338 RUM brass) but it seems pretty nice.

    338 RUM brass availability

    Does anyone have info on the lack of 338 RUM brass in the world? I have over 300 pieces on order, but they keep pushing back the ship date.

    Brass Availability, Fustrated!

    300 RUM brass is everywhere...the 338 RUM is impossible to find. I have some back ordered at Cabela's and they just keep moving back there expected receiving date.

    Load help

    I'm also waiting for a reply on load data for my 338 RUM. They might make great bullets, but their website is lacking greatly. If I get no reply I will stay with Nosler and Barnes.

    Newby...going all in...missing anything?

    Thanks for all of the feedback. I actually got the press mounted on my temp reloading bench. The 215M primers got dropped off last night. It was my first package that said "explosives" on the side...pretty cool. Waiting on the brass...seems to be a shortage of 338 RUM brass. So my wish list...
