[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 7692, member: 34"] Sampson I would go with the 300 RUM and never look back. No belt and 300 FPS faster using the same barrel length and 190 gr bullets as in the 300 WSM. It also has the ability to use the 220 and 240 gr bullets better then the 300 WSM and will shoot 90" flatter at 1000 yards using the 190 gr bullet and 24" barrels, not to mention the additional energy levels way out there. Add 4" of barrel length "to both" and the the bullet impact is still MUCH flatter when using the 300 RUM. When you decide to further the range from 1100 or 1200 yards, you will have the cartridge to do so if you choose the 300 RUM. You have the advantage to load it up or down to suit your hunting needs. As for power, the 300 RUM with the 240 gr bullet (BC .711) will out perform "ANY" 338 250 gr bullet but, not the 300 gr. So in reality your limited to bullet choice if you go to the 338 for longrange hunting. My choice would be the 300 RUM for your situation here in PA or a trip out west. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] You can also use any good factory mag action with the 300 RUM just like you can with the others mentioned. I have all of the rifles mentioned except the 300 Win mag which I just sold. Can make a real good comparison on this thread.
