[QUOTE="Mark_in_utah, post: 54529, member: 1503"] A year ago I was looking for a .338, and I ran through the whole WM vs. RUM question... The out of the barrel performance of the WM vs. the RUM is similar. Don't expect much more than 100 fps of improvement, which for game and sub-500 yard shots is a non-issue. The recoil is about 25% greater with the RUM. Recoil is actually slightly HIGHER for the .300 RUM than it is for the .338 RUM. Your shoulder can't tell the difference. The .300 RUM holds slightly more powder which accounts for the difference. Total recoil is DOUBLE that for the 7mm RM. The .300 RUM is an over-bore cartridge, plan on more throat erosion and less barrel life. Reloading costs are more. Brass is +$50/100. More powder as well. Personally I'd stick with the .300 WM. Mark in Utah P.S. I ended up getting a .338 RUM in 700 LSS simply because I got it at a price I simply could NOT refuse. Put a Vais brake on it to domesticate the monster. [/QUOTE]
