Hey guys,
nothing I'm dying to do immediately - but I think I want to start looking into building a RUM to run 245s. Ive loosely considered the 30 nosler but I think brass availability on both fronts is gonna be a challenge no matter how you slice it... and if I've gotta have an issue finding brass, may as well get the big boy.
anyway, my question is of action preference. I know I could just grab a Remington action, but the thought of using a Howa or even a Bergara sounds nice - is using either of those a possibility? I know the RUM is a LONG cartridge, and running 245s it's gonna need to be seated long to take advantage of powder capacity. I think I was reading somewhere about using a 4" wyatts.
I tried googling combinations of 300 rum bergara and howa but didn't run across much.
thanks in advance
