I bet that would make one heck of a good elk/moose gun. Show us some targets or a dead critter :),bsa. Wish I had some to show! Accuracy has been pretty average but it seems to be settling in. I had to put a little pressure at the forend before the groups started to shrink. All I have shot is the 200 gr factory loads. The more I shoot the better it seems to group. I'm looking forward to doing some load work this winter. The elk didn't cooperate and I didn't have it in time for deer season so I will have to wait till next year to baptize it fully. I will say this...it is a joy to carry!

The whole concept of that 338 RCM and short barreled Ruger seems to be a good one. Hope you have good luck next year, bsa.
