[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 454465, member: 5219"] No doubt you'll get some more velocity. Can you have someone take a picture of you shooting your new edge? I want to see the fireball! I run a 300 RUM and I hate the fact even with a longer wyatt's box mag the seating depth is very limited for a repeater. Just as a few manufacturers like winchester made a shorter short action for the WSSM they should have made a longer long action for the RUMs. I know the custom recievers are out there with proper length but they sure don't help making a reasonable light sporter rifle you'd want to carry around the mts. FYI my 300 RUM is a post 64 model 70 in a McMillan hunter stock and #5 27" lilja. Weight with 4.5-14 X 40 is 8 3/4 lbs. When I wear this barrel out I am seriously considering making a 338/375 Ruger with a better fit for seating bullets from the shorter case. [/QUOTE]
