[QUOTE="mrb1982, post: 1013895, member: 50419"] I guess the thing I always wonder about the 300 RUM is if it is worth it. More for brass, more powder, more recoil. I guess a guy has to pay for the added performance. I have heard of guys getting close to 1000rds out of a 300 RUM before burnout. Would this be a fair estimate? I am guessing I coudl turn this into a 5 year plan sort of thing. One year barrel it. One year stock it. One year put optics on it. A couple more years for other accessories. Try to mitigate the cost a little bit. I would think that a 28" barrel would probably get me 3000fps with 230's????? Would that be a fair judgment? To me, that is a pretty mean killer. You are getting into 338 bullet weight range with those 230's and some pretty good velocity. That seems to me it would be a pretty emaculate long range killer, probably out to 1500yds maybe even. Hard to say, depending on conditions of shooting ability of course. [/QUOTE]
