[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 229297, member: 1403"] All 3 will get the job done. I would go with the 300 WM or 300 RUM though. If you know your shots are going to be long most of the time, like 600+ the RUM is the way to go, if not the 300 WM is a great cartridge and wont break the bank with powder consumption. You'll also get almost double barrel life from the 300 WM vs the RUM. I've had both and feel the 300 RUM is a bit much for game inside 600 yards. It doesn't kill them any deader then a 7 RM or 300 WM will. However, like I said, if you plan on doing most 75% or more shooting on game past 600, the RUM is a great cartridge. Depends on how much you want to practice as well. Most people dont like the RUMS w/out a muzzle break. Never bothered me to much but everyones different. If you want to shoot a lot to become proficient with it at LR its something to consider, barrel life. My 300 RUM lasted 1200 good rounds before the accuracy was really starting to fall off past 500 yards. It got rebarreled to 338 EDGE with 300g SMK for even more power and a little longer barrel life.
