[QUOTE="MuleHunter, post: 248361, member: 14190"] I know i am getting into this discussion late but, although the original question was about comparing the 300 RUM and the 300 WBY, he asked about a mid range cartridge for elk and bear. My question is, have you considered the 7WSM or 7 RUM. A 180gr Berger can be pushed 2950fps+ quite easily with a ballistic coefficient of .684. IMO 'midrange' would be about 300-600yds. The 7 is very flat at those ranges, and accurate, and has comparable energy to the 300's due to its high BC, coupled with less powder and less recoil, and more energy at longer ranges (800yds+). Also the 7 has proved its accuracy capability in the 1000yd F class game (both 7wsm and .284w). Winchester brass isn't incredible by any means but people have got 5" groups at 1000yds with them and there is more than enough energy for elk at the 'midrange'. JMHO. [/QUOTE]
