[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 448730, member: 2736"] The 300 rum Is one of the best all round cartridges available, And multiple loads is always good is you intend to hunt different types/sizes of game. I have several rifles setup to use different loads and not just for recoil. Bullet selection is very important to get the best performance (For close up tough skinned game I use well constructed bullets with thick jackets, For extreme ranges I like the fast expanding bullets like the ballistic tip. For all round hunting I use the bonded core type bullets. With some deliberate loading you can have 2 or 3 loads with the same Point of impact at there intended use and distance. Remington loads 3 different levels of power/recoil for the 300 RUM so you don't have to use 180's to hunt varmints with the RUM but if you need the power the big rum will do just about everything very well. It is easy to build a drop chart that will accommodate 2 or 3 different loads if you don't want to spend the time to work them up to the same POI. I color code my multiple load drop charts for fast recognition. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
