[QUOTE="JohnT, post: 2011569, member: 12485"] I have a 300 RCM in a Ruger M77 compact. It's a neat package but dont forget the RCM was all about equaling or surpassing a 300 Win or a WSM in a 20" barrel. In handloads because of the lack of powder availability here in Australia it's very hard to achieve the Hornady claimed velocities lack alone the Superformance. My 300RCM ruger is crazy accurate and it was cheap. It may take a while but if you want a 300RCM look around and try buy one second hand. They are available. Just not popular so you will get a good deal. IMHO the 300RCM is all about the package, short action short 20" barrel. In a Tikka in a long action you get no benefits and may struggle to get "Magnum" velocities. As a rebarrel cant recommend the 300RCM even though I like the cartridge. [/QUOTE]
