[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 917984, member: 2567"] I continue to have excellent results in my 338 rum with the 300 gr OTM. Last fall I killed a nice 6 point bull elk at 750 yards, my longest shot to date. I hit the bull twice with the second shot taking out the lower leg, it didn't matter as the first shot was on the money and he expired after running down 25 yards. I also killed a cow elk in Dec with 475 yard shot that broke her femur. Wind was blowing horribly. Kill shot was in the back of the head at 330. I recovered the femur bullet and it was expanded perfectly. There was a lot of blood shot meat in the ham, but that isn't where we typically want to hit, but things happen. I seem to be having excellent performance from my gun, but I have to wonder if my 9.3 twist isn't helping the expansion a bit. [/QUOTE]
