[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 2227324, member: 55944"] Both the 300 Weatherby and the 300 rum need a longer than normal magazine box to realize their potential with heavy bullets. I would be certain to have the rifle built with a Wyatt’s 4” magazine box with either case. I like the RUM over the Weatherby because of Brass availability, however if you shot 400 animals with the 300 Weatherby you might have a heck of a lot of brass lying around already. Norma and ADG both make 300 rum brass and I wouldn’t hesitate to use either brand. Be careful going with the faster twist barrel. For 100 years a 1-10” twist barrel has been the standard for 30 caliber barrels and it still stabilizes everything but the most recent monolithic bullets. If you intend to only shoot monos go with the fast twist but if not I would not go faster than a 1-9 twist. You might ruin your ability to shoot anything else. A faster twist will increase pressure and could cause you to max out before you reach the velocity you are hoping for. [/QUOTE]
