[QUOTE="Elk Hunter 338, post: 1634951, member: 23509"] 300 RUM all day long and here's why its the one that I would choose. 1. its one of the most underrated cartridges out there and gets a bad name for being way over bore, which usually comes form people that have no experience with it with powder and bullets that actually use the case capacity up... but a 180 @3400 plus is pretty sweet too hahahahahaha… I want it even more !! 2. if your a single loader its even better, I would suspect that in a 26-28" barrel built right you'll see 3k with 250 MATCH using the right powder .. probably RL50 RL33 Or h50bmg N570 or 20n29. I know with 230 hybrid in a 26" ive seen up to 3050fps (not relined) with h1000 and this will run 6 plus firings on norma cases 3. quality dies are everywhere for 300 rum, you will have to get a really good expensive set of dies for the 300 NM IMp that is cut perfect or you will fight the dreaded "click" 4. quality brass is everywhere 5. load data is every where 6. any powder you stuff in it it will shoot 7. ive owned both the 300 NM imp and 300 ultra and haven't seen anything either cartridge can do better than the other if built right 8. no fireforming which usually means twice if not three firings to get improved rung out and to where its at full capacity and no more growth 9. the 300 rum from new to 8th firing never changes from first shot. not saying the 300 NM IMP is not an awesome cartridge which it absolutely is just saying the 300 RUM is also great and Gets more flack than credit and its been kickin ARS since 99!!! we have the most options ever and for good reason we the long range shooter expect better every year and we get it!! either way you decide it will be an absolute hammer and youll enjoy it, just my 2 cents on why I would and will always own a 300 RUM.
