7 SAUM w 180gr Berger Hybrids or 300 RUM w 230gr Berger Hybrids

[Rum Man]

It kills me when a guy builds a 338 Rum and runs a 225 gr !
Fun intended!!

It was super hard on me to try the 250 gr bergers but when I looked at the stats at 1000 yards ...hmm almost the same as the 300 gr . Now past 1000 yards hands down the 300 gr !!

The 180s will kill anything in North America. The 7mm has less recoil too. Enough said.

What about a PapapaPapua with a 213 grainer at 3100

Yah, the whole intent of this 338 build was to be a short, mountain rifle - with a 22" barrel the 250gr bergers were maxed out at 2,800 fps, so I'd imagine the 300's are in the low 2,700's, which is not what I wanted.

I wanted to shoot the 300's I'd probably go with the 338 edge and a 28" CF barrel - which would also be awesome!

Mine is 22" as well. Doing the math none are really 1000 yards, so fast and light it is.

I understand you totally!
My Son in law has a 16" 300 wsm and was at 2450 with the 215 gr bergers. Bang flop on his Sheep and Moose last fall in Montana, but he just switched to 200 gr bergers and now he is running 2750 ! Suppressed!
It's a very sweet huntable package !!
Short is definitely hot right now .
