Title: 7MM RUM not made anymore??
Post by: rtspring on March 21, 2012, 12:42:24 PM: Went to buy one this morning and was told they are not being made anymore? Any truth to this? If so I need to find one in stock somewhere I guess.

I just looked on Remington sight and they still show them.

Yeah, I was on there the other day and saw it as "Current" on the Sendero and a few others.

Post by: TeacherMan on March 21, 2012, 02:37:10 PM: I think they are still made but it's a hard cartridge to find and expensive. My 338 RUM is the same. $90 a box and almost all off the Internet anymore. I hand load them. I'm wanting to trade my Remington 700 stainless ADL for another stainless rifle in just .338 Win Mag or .375HH. Both much easier to find ammo.

Post by: TeacherMan on March 21, 2012, 07:32:29 PM: It cost me about $100 for 50 rounds of 338 rum with Reloader 19, Fed 9.5 Primers, and Barnes xxx 250gr bullets and brass. Brass only last one reload MAYBE two.

If your brass is only lasting once, or twice if you're lucky, I'd say you're loading them too hot. :twocents:

Post by: MtnMuley on March 22, 2012, 08:02:10 AM: I know several professional shooters that are getting 20+ reloads out of the same brass in the RUM's. Nosler and Norma brass.

Post by: et1702 on March 22, 2012, 08:22:43 AM: I have a similar problem. Bought a Rem. 300 SAUM when they first came out. Too similar to the 300 WSM, and Rem dropped the cartridge. I still have several boxes of shells, but will need to buy some reloading dies soon, or pay 80 buck a box from custom reloader like Conely; http://www.cpcartridge.com/cpcart/
