[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 678478, member: 10306"] My reasoning for shooting the .338's is because the barrel life is longer. The massive amount of energy is a second. The 300 RUM is great and more than sufficient for anythign in NA, and if the shot placemnet is really good, the world. I do have the train of thought that, at least with grizzlies hanging about, I want more than sufficient. Ive been bluffed a few times, and my Father's hunting partner had to dispatch a charging one with his 300 winny (did the trick, but took the ole' bear a while to die). Bears arent made of steel, but for some reason I still like the bigger bore (especially with fragile bullets). That being said... If you cant shoot a .338 well, dont do it. Go smaller. If you cant shoot a .30 well, dont do it. Go smaller. If you cant shoot a 7mm well, dont hunt AK. :D And to the OP. Yes, the .338 RUM will run 300 grain bullets between 2700-2800 fps with a 1-10, and run them well. [/QUOTE]
