[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 848520, member: 10"] Very good points and explaining. Goes along with my comments exactly, if your looking to get he best ballistic and terminal performance, driving the heaviest, highest BC bullet your rifle can handle is where its at and with todays powders, the 300 RUM is certainly not impractical by any means. As far as your cost per shot number, I would say its much closer then that between the two once you take out the brass cost. Brass price really is only included on the first firing, and the more shots you fire, the less its a factor on each case as you well know. Getting the numbers previously listed on the WBy brass will stress it more then the same numbers listed using RUM brass which translates into more firings per case with the RUM which lowers its cost per shot. Again, could not agree more with your comments. One does not choose a larger 30 cal for close range shooting. If you choose a 300 WSM, or 300 Win or 300 Wby or 300 RUM or 30-378, you better be using it for larger big game or big game at longer ranges. If your purpose is longer range shooting, that being +500 yards, there is no comparision between the WSM and the RUM and even between the WBY and the RUM there is a sizable difference. [/QUOTE]
