[QUOTE="liltank, post: 500853, member: 13275"] For a stock, my suggestion would be to look in to an aftermarket composite stock of some type. Wood is okay, but if you want to be serious about long range you should really have as solid a platform as you can. Laminate stock would be better than a normal wood stock especially if you put steel pillars in with Devcon bedding. As far as bullets, the 300RUM is far more capable than just using the 210grn bullets. With a break you can jump up to the new Hornady 225, and use the Sierra 240grn bullet. These will far out perform any of the 210's. I do know that guys are pushing the 208 a-max and 210's to 3100 and up to 3200fps with the RUM. It is a very capable cartridge. I do agree that glass should be on the top of your list of things to buy. 28" would be the shortest I would go for the RUM. It has a large powder column and it wouldn't hurt to have enough tube to burn all that slow powder you will use. Just some thoughts. Tank [/QUOTE]
