[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1870315, member: 313"] I built a 300RUM with a fairly heavy 26" bbl. I had visions of using the rifle to take whitetails at long(er) range. After working up a few loads at the bench I realized that it was only a matter of time before the scope would "get me". I knew that I could never shoot the rifle prone without injury. I eventually put a PK (Painkiller) brake on the rifle and found it much easier and safer to shoot. However, the blast, now redirected more rearward was intolerable. I really liked the gun but it had to go. In the end, I pulled the barrel and had a new custom tube installed in 30Nosler. I did not install another brake. I'm currently loading at max 300Win velocities with 181gr Hammer Hunters and am very pleased to have gone this route. The 300RUM is a great cartridge but it just isn't for everyone. [/QUOTE]
