[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 848599"] This is a pretty sweet selection to chose from. I would question anyone who gives advice with such a limited set of base parameters. but in absence additional input My thoughts, get the one that turns you on the most. I have not been behind a 30-378 but have on the others. 300WM was a tactical, it's OK. I have a RUM target and shoot a buddy's Christensen Arms carbon fiber 300RUM. Both have a serious accuracy edge AFAIC. As for suggestions of 300WSM. It is a fine caliber. One of my favorites. The only big game I have taken is with this caliber at 300 yards with factory copper. If you are not going to reload, you could rank them in order of available factory loads. From Midway 300WM (83), 300WSM (38), 300RUM (34) and 30-378 (16) If you are going to load your own. Well, back to square 1. If you are after a big boom, well there is no question, the 30-378 is the biggest boom in the bunch. If the goal is to hunt big things past 600 yards, if it were me, it would be the 300RUM. Inside 600 any including the WSM. And lastly, I'm not as fond of belted magnums for accuracy but many are.
