Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out. This week I'm catching up on my other boomer, 8mm Rem Mag. The RUM is rare, the 8mm is extinct.

A quick question/suggestion. I shoot and load for the 7mm STW; most of the brass I use I formed from the 375 H&H--I had originally looked around for the 8mm RM which was originally used for the 7mm STW but couldn't find it so reverted to the 375 H&H--can't you do the same for the 8mm RM (even if you have to fireform it)? I used PPU brass which is quite cheap and has held up very well to repeated firings.The RUM is rare, the 8mm is extinct.

Powder Valley has 8 Mag brass on sale for $107/25. Not much of a markdown, but hey. Nosler brass.

Ah c'mon, it's only money. As you well know, this is not a cheap game. But it could be worse: I don't fly airplanes, I don't sail, and I no longer play with Italian cars.
PS: I did load some 270 ELD-X over Ramshot Magnum this morning. I should get about 2,700 with 90.5 gr, and QL says I can go a couple more. We'll see.

I really like Hornady's big .338 bullets--they shoot extremely well out of my .338 LM--I bet they do really well out of your RUM as well. Nosler brass? I've always thought it's a bit over-priced for the quality, but I've had to splurge on it too.
