[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 158001, member: 1403"] 300 RUM is not needed to kill deer up to 700 yards, period. There are a lot lesser calibers, that will be a lot easier on the wallet, shoulder, and whatever else have you, and will still kill 100% at that range. You just dont need a RUM for deer at those ranges is all I'm saying... I've never believed in the work overkill, but if there was such a case, this could certainly be one of them... Whats wrong with a 6.5-06 w/140g VLD, 270 win w/140-150g bullets, 7 RM with VLD's, 300 WM w/VLD's, among other 06" based cases and regular magnums that will do the job every time to 700 yards on deer?? Now if he was talking elk, yah I could see the 300 RUM, but for deer, no way... [/QUOTE]
