[QUOTE="dlschwartz, post: 1521843, member: 60352"] Agree that 24 vs 26 barrel is a minimal weight increase for the performance increase. Extended range shooting usually places the hunter in a position where the game is not ready to bolt and trees to not limit gun movement. Long shots should be made from a rest (best prone) and that is where the 300RUM recoil really separates out the rifleman. If you need to use reduced loads, get a 308. I shoot a Rem 700 with a 26" Hart barrel. The load is 200 gr Swift AFrame, 98 gr Retumbo. CBTO=3.125" which puts the base of the bullet about .200 into the case. Velocity averages 3180 fps over my Labradar. I avoid the longer bullets because of the magazine limitations put the bullets too far into the case. I feel that the 200 gr swift does not give up much at 500 yards and have a 218" B&C moose to prove it. One does not have to worry about bullet terminal performance with the A-Frame. [/QUOTE]
