[QUOTE="Agunner012, post: 73797, member: 1500"] A 300 RUM will probably burn a barrel out faster than the 338 RUM. How much faster is a good question, but it will be the biggest barrel burner of the 3 you've listed. The 338 RUM is actually easier on barrels than the 300 RUM. Less velocity, and a little less powder. If you allow the barrel to cool between shots you will probably get about 1500 rounds out of the 300 RUM. Rapid fire it and don't allow it to properly cool and you will probably waste that barrel in half the time or sooner. As far as recoil, I have a brake on mine and wouldn't want to shoot it much without it. Andrew [/QUOTE]
