I've used the RUM on them for sure,but they weren't any deader than the ones I took with the 30/06. Now that my preference points are coming of age,the big 30 will likely follow me for elk,but if I didn't have it,old Otter would be fine. She is solid and accurate and just feels "right" in my hands. Ballistics be damned,if you don't like your rifle you won't become "one" with it. Find one that you are comfortable with and shoot well.</p></blockquote><p></p>
