[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 263129, member: 12443"] first, shot placment is more important than cartridge. years back my father killed a large grizzly with 1 shot with a 180 gr. 3006. that said, i have 2 30x378s which i use for long range hunting. both built by howard wolfe of mifflinburg pa. who was probably more influential in the development of that cartridge than any other person, dating back to the late 50s. the only action he will use other than a custom, is a weatherby. i have 1 on a weatherby, which is a shorter version case, it has a 30" barrel. i have a full legnth version that is on a custom wolfe action, and it has a 36" barrel. full velocity potential of the standard legnth case cant be achieved on a barrel less than about 32" the factory weatherby with its 26" barrel is based on using 180 gr. bullets in order to achieve their advertised velocity. the 300 rum, would be about an equal cartridge using that legnth barrel. i would be looking for a remington sendero in 300rum which you will find in good used for about $800.
