I got to run some test yesterday afternoon with the 338RUM. This is the loads I have got so far and all groups look about the same. 3 shots within 1/2 @100 yards. I'll be doing the 5 shot groups next. I mainly wanted to see if my velocity was in par with the books and presure would stay good. i was shooting 20ft from the crono
