[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3097732, member: 10755"] This has been my take on all magnum offerings. I look for capacity to match bore diameter that will give great expansion ratio numbers. For instance, the 300WSM is perfect for 25, 26 & 27. Loses out in 30 & 33. Same goes for RSAUM. The 300WM is a niche size good for 6.5, 7 & 30. The 300 Weatherby is great for 6.5 through 375, even 416 is doable. The 8RM is great for the same above. The 338WM is another niche size that can utilise 25 through 375 and maybe 416 if you like slow. All the new magnums have pretty much had all the development in calibre already done. Personally, my love affair with the 300WM will never sway, but I love the RUM nearly as much. I have a 300RUM, have had both the 7 and the Edge and looked very hard at both the 338 & 375 versions. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
