[QUOTE="500mag_guy, post: 803159, member: 34924"] Well for myself here in Montana with the elk deer and bear I hunt I have never had a problem with the 300 rum with dropping them at all ranges and different body shots. I have never own a 340 for a simple fact that there is no need for it with a the rums and the 338 lapua. I also use my turrets when shooting long range anything.. Holding over and slinging lead is not my way... And if yor going to compare apples to apples lets go 180 - 225 gr bullets not 180 - 300 gr bullets... 600 yards 340 wby: 225 gr bullet 300 rum: 180 gr bullet Velocity: 340 wby- 1782fps 300 rum- 2285fps Ft.lb. energy: 340 wby- 1587ft.lb 300 rum- 2088ft.lb There's no argument about wind with your 180-300 gr comment but at a difference of 2moa if you are using your turrets there shouldn't be any problem.. It maybe a great caliber but I'll take it you've never owned any of the ultra mags... [/QUOTE]
