[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2658217, member: 78056"] While I don't own a 300 RUM (I have a .338 Win Mag for elk), I do reload for my buddies 300 RUM and I'll have to say I love the caliber and I'm envious of his Rem. 700, which has a barrel very similar to an expensive custom barrel, pretty surprising for a factory barrel! The rifle shoots the Nosler 200 gr. Partitions very well and brass life is surprisingly long! I neck size until the brass starts to get a bit difficult to chamber then FL size once, then go back to neck sizing. I've got Rem. brass that's been fired 15 or more times during load development, which doesn't include any bunny fart loads at all! I know not all factory barrels are going to be this nice (personally I think it's a fluke) but one can always wish, which costs nothing! I know he's taken deer at some fair distances (400+ yards, no elk as yet) but personally, I much prefer to get as close as possible when hunting. Absolute best shot is to sneak up on them while they're in their beds 25 yards away but I like to be prepared for that 400 plus yard shot, too! This caliber can do it all and other than the expense of components at the present time, I do love the cartridge! I wish they'd of had them when I started shopping for an elk round back in the '70's!
