[QUOTE="cb4128, post: 2359548, member: 80069"] Always a fun debate and discussion. I have a 300 win mag and a 300 RUM. Here's the loads I've landed on, both several grains under max and in 26" barrels: 300 wm - 75.8gr of RL26, 215gr berger hybrid, nosler brass, CCI 250 primer @ 2,970 fps 300 RUM - 91.5gr of Retumbo, 210gr berger vld, nosler brass, 215m primer @ 3,122 fps - the RUM is much flatter shooting with slightly more recoil to me. Not enough to make a difference to me to steer you away from it. I shoot the win mag more, because I have more brass, I shoot it suppressed, my load is 16 grains less of powder per trigger pull, and I'm less worried about barrel life. My shooting buddy has the PRC and shoots factory ammo out of it, that is almost identical to my win mag load in drops with the 212gr eldx. He had a heck of a time finding factory ammo over the last year, so much that he didn't even want to shoot it. If I was starting over today, I would be looking at available components - brass, powder, etc to help make the decision. I'd probably look hard at the 30 Nosler, from what I know about it from other shooting buddies, it's very easy to tune, no big initial brass prep needed, great brass options with Peterson, Norma, etc. All of them are great options though!
