[QUOTE="Shumba, post: 221862, member: 12337"] First let me say I have been creeping around this site very occasionally for a year or so now. There is some great info on here so I registered today and this is my first post, so hello to everyone. I have had 3 Jarretts and currently still have one. I do not think that you could realisticlly hope to get 3000 FPS with 210's out of the jarrett. You could always have the chance of a fast tube but 3K with a 26" barrel would be pushing it. 2950 with 200's is about the norm and that is pushing it to max. This was typical in all the rifles I have had and all of them had 26" barrels. I love the Jarrett and there are good sources of fireformed brass that run @ 2.25 a peice. You would not need to fireform brass yourself if you did go with the Jarrett. That being said, if I did not already have the dies and brass..etc.......and was making a new long range rifle in 30 cal I would probably go with the RUM myself. I think you will get a little more out of it with the heavy bullets, probably not so much with the lighter ones. I do not have any experience with the 300 RUM as far as accuracy goes but I do have an extremely accurate 338 RUM and I cannot see why the 300 woud not be just as accurate. one thing to think about is that the 300 RUM is a very long cartridge. Especially if you are going to have the rifle made to shoot the long 210's I would make sure to build it on an action that can accomodate the length of this long cartridge/bullet combo and still get to the lands. Hope this info helps you some [/QUOTE]
