[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 3085995, member: 27307"] I've shot the .300 RUM since day one in 1999. Liked it, hunted with it and then moved on. There is nothing wrong with it but there are just too many other cartridges to shoot. I started with the .300 Weatherby because I wanted one but that ammo, even when reloaded was expensive. I learned to fire form .300 H&H brass/ammo to get .300 Weatherby cases. The H&H was relatively inexpensive at that time, saving me (a student) quite a bit of cash even with the fireforming. Call it whatever you want, I have an affinity for the Weatherby which I lack for the RUM. They both shoot great, perform well on game and are easy to load for. Recoil can be significant for both cartridges. Prices for both are still incredibly stupid currently even with the mass production dedicated to ammunition manufacturing. See if you can persuade a friend or acquaintance to let you shoot both because you need to have that experience to see what you can shoot accurately with that level of recoil. Either .300 has a superb range of bullet designs and weights. Lots of choices! :) [/QUOTE]
