[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1365786, member: 2736"] I guess I'll weigh in and give my opinion also. There are no cartridges that are most accurate. It is the combination of good Gunsmithing, a premium barrel and perfect ammo to feed it. I have a 30/378 that Is unbelievably accurate (.092 thousandths 5 shot groups Consistently) and it is loaded with standard mag length ammo utilizing the massive free bore of the big Weatherbys. With that said, My preference is still the 300 RUM for the case design, case volume and performance with a broad range of bullet weights and Powder's. The case is my favorite case for wildcatting and I can find no fault with it. Brass will be somewhat difficult to find for all of the aforementioned cartridges, so that should not be the deciding factor. There will always be a "Faster cartridge" or one that's holds more powder but the 300 rum seems to be the right amount and most efficient. I have wildcatted the RUM case to hold 114 grains of usable case capacity and the 378 Weatherby case to hold up to 144 grains maxing both cases out and still prefer the versatility of the 300 RUM for the non wildcatter. As stated in another post, It can be loaded down to 30/06 velocities for fun shooting and long barrel life, Or can be turned into an accurate beast. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
