[QUOTE="Ahicks, post: 2069506, member: 116821"] My 300 rum is just a sporter rifle 26" barrel with a mercury tube to help recoil ( makes it really heavy). The reasons I want to make a swap is it is a rem 700 action with a jewled bolt that is smooth and silk to work. 7mm ammo is cheaper and more available. I can push the same weight bullets with near identical ballistics with less wind drift and less recoil due to the High BC all with less powder once I start reloading. And I want to add the benefit of accuracy gain and barrel life that you get with an aftermarket barrel with a twist rate made for long, heavy for caliber bullets. My 300 rum is inherently inaccurate only able to make fist size groups at 100 on a good day. I can take my 308 win that is factory other than the stock and regularly make MOA groups or better. Plus we all know it is fun to make a semi custom/custom gun [/QUOTE]
