[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 267664, member: 11717"] If you are serious about LR shooting and hunting, handloading is really the only way to go. You can start out with factory ammo to break in your rifle and start learning to shoot mid ranges but handloads should give you more flexability, consistancy and accuracy. The RUM will have about a 250 fps edge over the WM. To compare apples to apples... shooting a 200 AB you'll get about 2950 fps from the WM vs about 3200 fps from the RUM. In my book that equates to an 850 yd hunting range vs a 975 yd hunting range at sea level for those bullets and velocities. I use the bullets minimum expanding velocity of 1800 fps as my criteria, not KE. The RUM will handle the bigger and longer high BC bullets better also. So I would say that the RUM has a significant edge over the WM for LR shooting and hunting IMO. Good shooting, let us know how you progress. I just got myself a 300 RUM. Mark [/QUOTE]
