I am loading for a 300 RUM on my Lee classic cast press, with a set of redding dies, and loading 210 Berger VLD hunting bullets. I am having issues with consistent OAL, I'm getting differences of up to .005" per load, and am not certain why. Any thoughts on something I might be doing wrong, or...

That being the case, what about 300 WM/300 WSM, someone mentioned them. I want to have some margin of error and not be right at the limit ballistically, would either of those cartridges work well/comfortably, with some margin of error?

Title pretty much says it all, looking to see if a 300 RUM shooting maybe a 220 grain bullet is enough for elk at those ranges. Not looking for a big heavy gun if it can be avoided, and have no need for shooting farther than 600-maybe 800- yards. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

Hey all, helping my dad get into long range hunting, some how I found this website :). I'm the brains he's the money source so I get to figure out all the stuff and he gets to spend the money. Going to be doing lots of searching here. gun)
