[QUOTE="youngbuck, post: 567153, member: 22987"] Some guys dislike belts more than others. If it were my choice I'd pick belt-less over belted on a new tube, If I needed a new one. I have a 7rm that will out-shoot any of my beltless LR rigs I have set up at this time. Plenty of critters have gone down with a 7rm or 300wm, both belted mags. If your 300WM barrel is worn out, a RUM may be something to consider. If you have money burning a hole in your pocket, it would be even better to go with a RUM. If you are looking to extend your range or "kill things deader" it may not be worth the time/money. Don't get me wrong, I like overkill. I hope to shoot a 100lb deer with a 338LM in December. If you want to have the fastest, just to have the fastest, look at the 30-378WBY. I like hot-rods too, but there's not much a 300RUM is capable of a 300wm would not be. I own and shoot a RUM, the only benefits are telling my 300WM buddies they don't have one, and I don't have to deal with a belt, and that is not a big deal to me. I used to want the biggest and baddest, in the game of LR hunting, someone will ALWAYS have something bigger faster and more powerful than you, that's the name of the game. In all honesty I would not feel handicapped in the least bit going with a RUM. There are many, many more important things than case capacity when it comes to long range hunting.
