Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 338 TEJAS

Hi guys,

Does anyone shoot this caliber? I saw a rifle chambered for this caliber last week and it triggered my curiosity. Based on what I have read on the internet, it seems to be a necked-up and improved version of 300 RUM created by a Utah-based gunsmith. The information is very scarce so I am interested to hear from forum members who might have owned or used this caliber.

Thanks,

Have not heard of it but there are several variations of the 338 RUM Improved.

This is a .375 RUM based wildcat. Jerry Easley also has wildcats named "Tejas". Maybe he's one to check with further? Anyhow, he lives five minutes away from me.
.338 TEJAS had a familiar ring, but it's been a year since I heard him recount about his muzzle brake and wildcatting stories.

Thanks for your notes. This seems to be a 300 RUM based wild cat created by a gunsmith by the name of Brad Stair. His shop is (was?) called Cross Canyon Arms and that's what I saw written on the rifle. I took a picture of this rifle, here it is:
