[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 577877, member: 4885"] The 300WSM and 300RUM are in completely different categories. The WSM is lower powered, can be built on a short action, Doesn't necessarily require a brake. The RUM is top of the foodchain .30 caliber (non-wildcat, ammo economically/readily/easily available), will erode the barrel faster and will definitely make good use of a Brake. It all depends on what type of rifle you are building, a carry around gun that you will use without double hearing protection (don't put a brake on it). Or a heavier, shoot it from the bench and always wear double hearing protection (put a brake on it and a nice heavy barrel). AJ [/QUOTE]
