[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 952118, member: 30902"] It's a great caliber but not a good choice for someone learning the long range game who needs to put a lot of rounds down range. I own two of them and love them but the 300wm would be a much better choice to start with. Less recoil, much cheaper to load for, and much better availability of quality brass. You can load 300wm for roughly 60% of what you can load 300 Rum and have about twice the barrel life along with far less problems dealing with recoil. Personally I think if you want to start out in the LR game and do a lot of shooting you'd be better off starting out with a .260 rem or .308win. It's a lot cheaper education going that route and unless elk and big bears are high on your short list they'll kill pretty much anything you can hit well with them dirt dead. [/QUOTE]
