[QUOTE="Sniper22, post: 211080, member: 11815"] I have looked at the .300 RUM but my only hesitation with it is too much power at closer that 1000 yd distances, for instance 300 to 500 yds, where there is a possibility of ruining good meat because of too much power at that close of range. For example on javelina, whitetail deer, and even antelope- animals which aren't that big bodied. I am wondering whether a 200gr. or even 220gr. handloaded round in a .300 Magnum would still be able to provide the necesssary power up to 1000 yds, yet still be able to be used for closer shots and not cause damage to the meat.
