[QUOTE="liltank, post: 638241, member: 13275"] I would just put a break on it. Some to consider are the Fat Bastard, APS Pain killer, Muscle Break and I know Shawn Carlock has his own design. So I would start there for breaks. You said your new to the long range game, but that doesn't mean you don't reload. If you do reload, then you have some really good bullet options that will make that 300RUM a hammer at 1000 to 1500 yds. Using the Berger 230grn or the Sierra Match King 240 bullet will hit like the hammer of Thor on Elk. The bigger bullet will add a little barrel life to your rifle too. If you don't reload, you will be limited to factory stuff. There is some out there that will work well, but you are going to have to find ammo that works well with your rifle and you might not be able to find suitable bullet design and weights. So that is my suggestion. Run the RUM until it stops shooting straight and then rebarrel. The RUM will give you a lot of practice for those long shots. Tank [/QUOTE]
