[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 778109, member: 55580"] You know where I stand on the 300 RUM :) As I mentioned, I chose that over the 7 mag, 7 RUM, and 300 win. The major deciding factors for me were flatter trajectory (only about a foot of bullet drop at 400 yards means I could easily hold for that shot instead of dialing) and more killing power further out. I could also use one round for all big game animals in Colorado including antelope, deer, elk, and moose. I know it is a little added recoil, but nothing I can't handle without a brake. I have considered a brake for it, but I do a lot of hunting where it could be closer quick shots without the opportunity to put in ear plugs and my hearing is bad enough the way it is! The only other downfall I saw was barrel life, which didn't concern me too much. By the time I fire 1,000+ rounds through the barrel and it is shot, I will want a new barrel anyway! :) [/QUOTE]
