[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 70595, member: 3048"] Hi Ramses Have a look at pages 618 & 619 of the 5th edition Sierra manual for some idea of 300RUMs accuracy, they show a little picture of Chris Lauck after a hit on a 11"x18" target at 1800yds using 190SMKs and John Buhay after shooting a perfect 100 with a group size of 5.377" using 200SMKs in 1000yd light gun class. To me this demonstrates the accuracy potential of the 300RUM, although some will tell you that it is a well put together rifle that releases that potential and they are of course right, but it just goes to show what can be done. When you step up to 338 Lapua things start to become a bit more specialized and more expensive but i'm not saying dont go there. For easy availability of guns and components, dies etc,(and less recoil) i would go for the 300RUM. Ian. PS. Dont rule out the 338RUM, ballisticly equal to the 338 Lapua. [/QUOTE]
