I'm still not sure why I sold my 338 RUM. It was a Rem 700 BDL that I had ported like an integral muzzle brake, but with no holes on the bottom. I had it Duracoated and I bedded it into a McMillan stock. That thing would shoot 225 gr Accubonds into 1/2" or less at 100 yards. I killed one Colorado bull elk, a couple of Colorado coyotes, and several whitetail deer with it. Recoil was not unpleasant at all, and it absolutely hammered everything I pointed it at. I do have an 8mm Rem Mag that acts as a capable surrogate, but I still miss the RUM.

I have a Remington 700 VSSF .338 RUM that Darryl Holland did some work on years ago. I developed a load for it using Sierra Game King 250 gr. bullets and H-1000 at 96.7gr., here's the rifle and the 100 yd. target.

Ironically, my back up rifle for my bear hunt this weekend is a loaded with 250 LRXs. I thought they wrote be adequate...

That's a dandy bear! Nice mature boar, good fur, and ivory color front claws. Ivory claws often indicates an older bear. Good shot placement

Any time the sun is shining on that part of the Island, it's a great day to be hunting spring bear. Congratulations!

It was Double Lung !
I hear ya ...I'm just Surprized it went down in one shot because most of the Videos I have watched ...they just keep hammering the Bear with Rounds !

I understand all about a wounded Bear to deal with , those teeth are not very forgiving!

I believe in the 338 Rum ! Lots of downed critters in my Lifetime!
