[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 1405601, member: 103996"] I’m currently saving up for a custom built long range rifle, and I’ve narrowed down caliber choice to these two calibers. Both would be throated long for either the 195’s for the Nosler or the 215 or 230 bergers for the rum. It seems to me like the Nosler is taking off and the rum is dying (even though I love the rum) both have similar brass availability in my area (possibly more availability for the Nosler but not a whole lot more) and it costs pretty much the same. Rum has a wider face, but the Nosler can fire the 180’s and 195’s that have the same or higher BC than the rum, with lower recoil. Rifle will be suppressed, so it will have some recoil reduction but not as much as a well made brake so recoil is a little bit of a concern. I know the rum will hit harder on both ends, they both have about the same barrel life give or take, but the Nosler can use a slightly shorter action. At 1000 yards (maybe as I get better 1200) is the rum worth the extra recoil and similar if not slightly lower BC’s? It’ll be another 4-6 months before I start the project but now is as good of time as any to narrow down what specs I want. I’m throwing the 30 Nosler and 300 Norma in the poll just to see if anyone thinks they’re worth considering, but as of posting this the 28 and the 300 rum are my primary considerations. I considered the Win mag but I already have a 30-06 and a Win mag, and I want something a little different but not impossible to find. [/QUOTE]
