[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1711367, member: 78056"] If you have fired a few rounds down the tube of a 300 WM and gotten along ok with the recoil, then I would suggest that instead of the WM you go with a more modern and somewhat better cartridge, the 300 RUM. The RUM series is just a bit more of everything the WM rounds can do. I wish they had been around when I was first looking for an elk gun. I wouldn't trade off my Ruger 77 .338 WM to get a RUM, I know it shoots well already. But just starting out, especially for a reloader, since they do not have to loaded up to 'firebreathing' to start! Ultimately the RUM will give you just enough of everything good about both cartridges to make it, I think, the better and more logical choice. Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
