I loaded up some 250 gr AB's in my M700 LSS 338 RUM and headed out to the range.
I shot two sub MOA groups. The first group went .757" c/c with the first two touching, .351" c/c. The second group went .479" c/c.
I also shot and recovered two of the 250 gr AB's from water jugs at 100 yds. Both bullets were recovered in the 6th jug, #1 opened up to .667" and weighed 143.8 grs (57.5%) and #2 measured .693" and weighed 145.3 grs (58.1%).
I think Nosler has a winner of a Long Range Game Bullet for the 338's.

If you ever sell that rifle you will have a bruised posterior from kicking yourself in the pants. Very impressive.

Even though it generates 50ish ft lbs of recoil, the 338 RUM is accurate. I know mine was, shooting groups half the size of my current 338 Winny.
