[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1028634, member: 5219"] The real question is whether or not the cartridge will fit and feed from your action. The RUM cartridge has a large diameter and won't pass some feed rails. Remington widens the rails in their rifle that will use the RUM cartridges. Not sure about your rifle. I see no reason that you can't seat a heavier bullet so it will fit and feed from your action with the standard OAL of 3.6". The bullet will be protruding into the powder space which may lower obtainable velocities. You may not be able to seat a bullet to touch the rifling but again the rifle can still perform. Berger's hybrids work quite well with bullet jump. I have shown this 300 WSM loaded with the 230 gr berger hybrid target bullet before. It fits and feeds from the 2.8" magazine. It shoots this bullet at 2722 fps using RL-17. It is accurate from my friend's Browning A-bolt with a 22" barrel!
