[QUOTE="ShadS, post: 1036185, member: 86305"] Hi everyone, Looking at getting a new rifle to have a bit of fun with. I've looked over many calibers and have decided it is out of these three. I'm continuously choosing one then looking back and choosing another; I cant make a clear decision!. I've heard a lot of good about the 300 wm, however my only problem is that I already have a 7mm08 and i think its just not quite worth having two guns that are that similar. The 300 rum is very nice too, probably on the edge of too much recoil but its got incredible ballistics and projectile selection! Also all these calibers will cost me about the same to reload; "I reload". The 338 wm is nice and that .338 bullet will destroy nicely, however the 300 rum has 400 more ftpds for the same recoil and it pushes an identical weight bullet faster. Rum problem - Barrel life. The main sell point for the 300 rum is that sexy big-*** case, ballistics and in future could be necked up to .338 edge... Also drops 10 inches less than the 338 at 500 yards I think.... Pros, cons and information to help sway me are all greatly appreciated! Cheers. [/QUOTE]
