[QUOTE="Crop Damage, post: 331219, member: 8652"] Now I'm starting to realize that a big nasty caliber like the 300 rum is probably not what I'm going to want. My buddies are shooting it, but it pounds them pretty hard. Something milder but accurate and deadly will be a lot more satisfying for me. I did a search on .280, and a bunch of info popped up on here that I hadn't seen. Sounds like some other folks have had the same idea in the past. I'll probably still own a RUM in the future, but I think this rifle is gonna be a .280 or 7 mag. I'm so excited over the idea of my own custom rifle that I've been just running around in circles and waving my arms. In my mind it looks just like all the .338 AM and Edge rifles that I've seen pictures of on this site. A 7 mag is not nearly as intimidating, but at least I'll be able to pick deer off with style. So now it will be 140 or 168 VLD's. Sorry for the waffling, but you all have helped me a lot in getting it narrowed down so far. [/QUOTE]
