[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1479168, member: 7999"] The 300 rum is a great cartridge weather you are a long range hunter or keeping it under 500y. This being a long range forum you are going to get advice that leans toward the 1000y world of hunting. As far as I am concerned, long range is whatever seems long to you. Sounds like your range at this point is what I consider normal range hunting (under 600y). Max point blank range with the rum is what it was originally designed for. It has the horse power to shoot very long range or be a laser beam to 600y. You could run a bullet like our 166g Hammer Hunter at a vel around 3600fps, zero it at 375y and hold dead on out to 440y (max point blank range calced at 3000' elev) and stay in a 5" radius. No worries about high vel bullet blow up or massive meat damage. This bullet will handle bone impact equally as well as pure lung shot. Steve [/QUOTE]
