[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1215949, member: 7999"] It is. The only problem currently with the RUM is brass availability. Although I just did a quick search on Midway and there is Nosler and Hornady brass available along with all kinds of loaded ammo. I am not sure why people are trying so hard to talk you out of it. The 300RUM is a very impressive round. Arguably the fastest flattest long range factory cartridge out there. Is it going to shoot as many rounds as a 300WM? No. Is it in a class of it's own? Yes. Take care of it and it will hold hunting accuracy pushing 2000 rounds. I am going to get yelled at for that statement as some guys have burned them up in less than 1000 rounds. My best buddy bought one of the first ones to hit the shelf, I guess 15 years ago, he is finally looking at a new barrel for it. He is well over 2000 rounds and still holding sub moa to 1000 yards. This was one of those factory gems that shot very well. So Hulk, if you want one of the best hot rods available short of wildcats, get it done. Enjoy it for what it is. Steve [/QUOTE]
