[QUOTE="Papershredder, post: 1106411, member: 89318"] I have all my rifles done at Corlane Sporting Goods in Dawson Creek BC; where they build RMR custom rifles. I sold my first .300 RUM built on a Win Model 70 and had them put together a .300 WSM on a Browning X-Bolt. The .300 WSM would not shoot as accurately as my .300 RUM did; no matter what load I built for it. The .300 RUM loved 200g Accubonds. I tried every thing from 150g bullets to 180g bullets in that WSM and couldn't find a load that would compare to the accuracy of the .300 RUM. Both rifles had muzzle brakes. The .300 WSM has since been replaced by another .300 RUM built on a Rem 700 XCRII. I'd take a .300 Win over a .300 WSM; but am a RUM fan after seeing them perform in the field and on the range for many years. Unless a guy spends ALOT of time on the range I don't see bbl life as a problem either. I put many rounds down range every year and never had any accuracy issues with my first RUM. This new RUM seems to love 180g Accubonds; every rifle has it's own personal prefences just like every hunter.gun) [/QUOTE]
