[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 240103, member: 9172"] jwp475. If you want to shoot upwards of 20 % more powder for a velocity gain of 1.5%, than do it. I have no problem with that at all. Lots of guys do it. I don't think the deer/elk/moose is going to notice the 1.5% velocity difference. But BBls are expensive. Powder is expensive. Gunsmiths are expensive. Extra muzzle blast isn't all that good for the average shooter. I am sure guys have necked down the 50 BMG to 30 cal. I'm sure it was a BLAST to shoot (pun intended)!! I already admitted that the RUM would be faster, all other things being equal. But you pay a lot for that extra 50 FPS. I never said jack about anything other than the 300 WBY and the 300 RUM. Where the 30-378 comes from is beond me. I NEVER said the 300 RUM can't win. It can. But for every RUM win you point out, I can point out 20 for the lowly belted 300 based case. My point is that the belt dose not HURT accuracy. And, for the less seasond hand loader, the belt takes care of the headspace for him. The facts I was pointing out is that the RUM brass is NOT cheaper. The RUM is NOT more accurate. Also, I see some one stated that factory RUM ammo is easier to find. I would think that this is backward, but I have not looked. There are are a lot of ammo makers pumping out quality ammo for the 300 WBY. Oh ya, by the way....I checked a map......couldn't find a Missouri on it any where. I found a Missouri River, but I couldn't find any other Missouri on it anywhere. Where was that again...........................??? JUST KIDDING:D:D Seriously....I won't get into a ****ing match over this......RUM/WBY. FORD/CHEVY. DEM/REP. TALL/SHORT WHAT EVER.... I say buy both. Along with a few semi auto pistols, a few "assult rifles".....just becuse you can!! AT LEAST FOR NOW!!!:mad: GOOD LUCK!! [/QUOTE]
