- I take a break from Black Powder and shoot some long range with the 338 RUM (Remington Ultra Mag). It's a fun gun but was really forgotten about because of interest in the 338 Lapua and the Edge. It is a great cartridge and can compete with its brothers and sisters. I score at 1050 yards
I dream of living a life like you do being able to shoot anytime you want, you are fortunate my friend.
Took me most of my life (and all of my money)to get here. Thanks for stopping by
The big sniffs help to keep a good talkative conversation going
The 338 Rum is not forgotten!
I have a 338 Rum for many years a XCR2 Rem 700 with HS Prec stock and HS prec detectable mag on it with Timney trigger and M16 Extractor and Mag Na Ported I often carry it moose hunting with 91.0 of RL 22 and 225gr Swift A Frames at 3025 FPS. Kicks like a mule but really dumps moose easy at 500 yards here in Alaska.
Thanks for stopping in
That’s a really good shooting, I like those big bore magnums too
Good to hear from you, sometimes I like to throw them far, but just for a while. Thanks for dropping by
Not forgotten to me still have one in my gun safe
How ya like it and what loads or rounds ?
thank you for another great video I always learn some cool stuff on each video
I learn stuff doin them too. Thanks for dropping in
You sir are the man. I’m a huge RUM fan. I have the 300 RUM and it’s extremely accurate and loves H1000 and Magpro. I will definitely look into US869. Wasn’t aware it was a slow burner.
There is also 50 BMG powder but mine likes 869. Thanks for stopping by
Such a nice relaxed talk with grandpa. Thanks
Thanks Dave, that’s fun to watch. You make that recoil seem doable.
The brake helps too. Thanks for stopping by
I had one built back in 02-03ish. Performance/ballistics wise, its a .338 Lapua at 1/5th the price per shot.
That one of the reasons I built this one. Thanks for stopping by
I have a 338 win mag in the model 70 that I lugged around Idaho a few times almost 20 years ago . Another great episode Thanks Dave
I had a mod 70 in 338 WM, and a friend finally wore me down and talked me out of it. IT is in good hands tho he has killed several elk with it. Thanks for stopping in
Nice video. I'm building a custom rifle and will be chambering it for 338 RUM. I had looked at 338 LM, 338 edge and even 338-378. I won't be shooting it enough to warrant reloading for now, and the ballistics are so close, my choice came down to cost!
Great video and good shooting.
Thanks for checking in
Great shooting Dave, looks like you have cooler temperatures. Thanks for the coffee and take care.
A little cooler, bout time. Soon we will be bitchin about the cold. Thanks for stopping in you take care also
You could put a flag or wind sock out there. Thanks for sharing your day.
I had a flag tied to a bush out there, the cows keep eating it. Thanks for checking in
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, keep the great videos rolling!
That was fantastic shooting Dave and very nice Rifle to.I have to agree with Joe.s.Thanks for the video,Slim.
Thanks for dropping by
thank you sir this was exciting you make so interesting wish i was there
Glad you could stop by
The best way I’ve ever seen to send $5.00 down range every shot!
Bought a 300 RUM and 375 RUM when they first came out. Still load and shoot them all the time. Always wanted the 338 version. I put KDF brakes on both. I just spun the 300's off so I can use it for deer hunting without blowing out my ear drums. Shot a Phonghorn at a hair over a 1000 yards using 125 grain Noslers loaded around 3950fps. Every animal since has been shot under 30 yards with it.
I can ring the 1000 gong with all of my hunting rifles butt rarely shoot animals over 100 yards or closer. Thanks for stopping by
What a nice long range place you have to shoot from and practice I only can get 300 yards but that is plenty for me on hunting rifles because I personally don’t shoot past that and I use old Lyman receiver sights no scopes old school for me . But I don’t have anything against them I use to use them and I use them on my varmint rifle. That is a really nice long range rig you got there.
Not bad, it isn't level tho, have to read in a 5% grade. There is always enough breeze, or wind, to make it challenging tho. Thanks for checking in
Thank you much! That was great. A Mile!
Glad you could stop by
What brought me here, my friend gave me a .338 RUM round, seems to be an old factory load. Where I live is incredibly odd to find it, longest feasible distance to shoot is around 300-400yds, and as a novelty overly-powerful rifle, it’s way more expensive than let’s say a .300 win mag so yeah, no idea what that cartridge was doing around here but a nice addition to my growing collection of weird and unusual cartridges. Also the largest game here, for those who may think it’s for hunting, is primarily white-tail deer. Adds to the mystery.
i built this gun as a model when I was building rifles, I don't shoot it much but it is fun to ring the gong now and then. Thanks for dropping by
It's not old. Came out in 2000 not 2002 as some mistakenly say. I bought mine in the summer of 2000. It's a great Remington product, well back when they were still great.
Impressive cartridge if you have skill to use it. Pretty good shooting btw.
Hell I don't have place to shoot that far without hitting a house or barn.
Yea, it is hard to get a level place. I have to adjust for 5 percent incline which makes a bit of a difference at that distance. Thanks for stopping in
I have two custom 338 rums and they are my go to hunting rifle. I shoot 300 gr Bergers @ 2850 fps with 99 grs of RL33 and seated to 3.800 oal. I also shoot Hornady 285's at 2940 with 100 grs of RL33. I also like shooting 225 gr accubonds and I run them at 3250 and they are great deer rounds.

Engineers plastic ribbon tape on a stick near the target.
Thanks for stopping by
Hadn’t had any coffee in a while, I hope to see a new video soon
I was working on one today, wind is being a pest. How bout u, got anything on the grill
Morelli's Tactical Advantage I was working on one but it’s so hot.
@@Leverguns50 looks like the hot thing is going to be gone for next few days here, supposed to snow by 6 here
338 lapua and 338 RUM are very close to the same balistics
As is the 340 Weatherby.
@@davidtennyson4908 not with factory loads but hand loads yes
I have been looking at the RUM family and trying to decide. The 338 is impressive.
Hope the vid helped, thanks for stopping by
I have acquired a custom 338 RUM mine has a 28" McGowan 1-9" twist... has a Nikon X1000 4-16×50mm MOA scope.. was hoping to get some thing bigger to get out 1000+ yards
I am playing with the 300gr Berger with US 869 and have also played with IMR 7977 in the 285gr ELD-M... but find that powder to be a bit more pressure signs..
Still playing with it and want to go out to 1000 yard and out to a mile....
I have found that all of the Enduron powders work under a bit more pressure. The 869 is a good one for me with the 285 and Retumbo also gives good results with less pressure for me with the 300s. Thanks for dropping by
@@BuckskinDave what barrel and action do u have on that rig.
@@vernonlarson7016 Barrel is Hart 10 twist 29 inch in Sendero Taper, Actin is Remington Stainless Magnum
@@BuckskinDave thanks for the info. Love your videos. I would love for u to build one for me sometime
Were you raised in Pittsburgh? Just curious. I was, but now live in tucson.
Then you would know where Ambridge is. Thanks for stopping by
Forgot one when u where naming off the rum family the 375 rum
Thanks for checking in
Hey, senor Morelli, you "beady eyed ol' codger you"!!! HOW do you get out to setup/check your 1000yd target??? By "SR71" (that's a plane of course!) so you can be home for supper?! Maybe by "pack mule" or "covered wagon"?! I've been known to knock out the left eye of a gnat at 1000yds with my .67 flintlock smooth bore horse pistol (no sights either!!!), but not too often! YA! Sometimes I MISS & get the right eye instead!! At 81, I no longer have a shooting range to enjoy, so I GREATLY admire the range you have. How did you wind up with the place you have? "Dumb luck"?! But I can always shoot my Daisy Red Ryder BB gun in my basement!!! The recoil is a little STIFF though! "Gesundheit"!!!
You don't have to worry about bears coming around your property with that gun.
The bears are more mannered than a lot of people these days. Thanks for dropping in
Now days you can get 338 edge brass now from Peterson's brass, ADG. Dies for all 3 are bit spendy. Rum and lapua dies are not as spendy as the edge.
When I burn out my 26 inch 300 rum sendero I’m gonna rebarrel it for 338 rum.
I think with a 4.05 inch chamber, it would comeback.
Great video, what are you carrying for a hand gun .
800,000 yards! Lol 😆 I know what you were saying, but I'm listening to this doing other stuff.
Thanks for dropping by
Awesome cartridge! What’s the recoil like with the muzzle brake?
I would call it manageable. Thanks for dropping by
How much does that round cost a peice? Great video dave
Not sure from factory, I load them all, Only thing that is expensive is bullet. Primers and powder normal. 300 grain Noslers were about 60 bucks I think. Thanks for checking in
360 no scope it
Thanks for dropping in
I hear him do a big whiff every time I see his video
I shoot 338 lapua
Thanks for dropping in
I have 8 338. 338 xc. 338 lapua AI. 338 lapua. 338 titan. 338-378 weatherby mag 338 edge. 338 rum and a 338-06 AI. All customs
Nice
