[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 58512, member: 10"] Radunn, Really all you would need for a 358 RUM is a magnum bolt face Rem 700, an RUM action would be the easiest but any mag or full length would do for that matter. A new Mag box would be needed if not a RUM action and a little work on the feed rails again if not a RUM. Of course the reamer would need to be made. As far as brass goes, I would go with a 358-375 RUM is you will because of the longer case. .358" bullets are not overly long so you would have a bit more case capacity with the longer 375 RUM case. Midway lists 375 RUM brass at $46.11 per 100 so it is very affordable for the performance you get. A 358 RUM does have some disadvantages, namely having the reamer built and getting dies, would be spendier then the 358 STA which is a custom listed die with most makers. Performance wise, in a 26" barrel, all the RUM calibers on teh full length case will run within 100 fps of the much larger 378 Wby class cases. What ever the STA would produce, add another 100 to 150 fps onto that for a given bullet weight and barrel length. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
