That kind of accuracy is a beautiful thing. Is your rifle a custom, or customized?
I used to shoot a .300 Jarrett- 200 gr accubonds at 3028 fps. It, or I, was not as accurate as your group, but that was an elk killing machine. I would say it was the hardest hitting elk rifle I've ever shot.

Customized, started out as a Super Grade and evolved over a period of time.
Thank you, it is a Model 70 action, accurized, with 26" Hart #4 contour barrel, on a B&C Medalist stock, original trigger adjusted to 2 1/2 lbs really nothing real exotic, I think those and the hand loads contributed to most of it.

It is a hunting rifle shooting hunting bullies, so I know ITS accurate the rest is up to me LOL.

Elk killing machine is better IMO.

So it obviously sounds like you're happy with the performance of the OTM on elk. I just worked up a load with the Berger 300 EH. Hoping it performs this year.

I was worried about it being a frangible bullet,so I shot this elk leg bone with it at 100 or 200 dont recall exact.But the bone went threw osb backer and left softball sized hole.It blew joint apart I put back for picture can see crack

I use and prefer my Rem 700 Sendero 2 SF in 300 RUM for deer and elk. I loves 180 grain E-Tips in front of US869 powder. Being of the disabled vet type I enjoy the reach it has and nothing has walked away from a hit out to 773 yards. Hopefully I hit the moose tag lottery this year.

elk #72 just fell for us this season about 2 1/2 hrs ago. We have used 7mm's, 30 cal's, and 338's. With several different bullets. big cased .338 with a 300 Berger for me please if we are hunting elk. Next would be the 300 win. with a 215 Berger. This many dead elk don't lie.
