[QUOTE="jmden, post: 258101, member: 1742"] Virtually anything you put through out of the 300RUM will work fine at those ranges, but there's virtually no reason to shoot a 300RUM at those ranges unless you are trying to kill something big like an elk--something smaller like a 300 Winny or 300WSM would work fine--albeit with more wind drift. Certainly don't need that power for deer at those ranges. As has been said many times on this forum, pretty much anything less than a 200g bullet on the 300 RUM is not utilizing the power potential of that chambering, so there's no real need for it. Does a 200g or heavier bullet cost that much more than the light ones for reloading? Not enough to quibble about. Shoot the big ones and you'll be ready for that elk when the time comes. If you are shooting long distance, you'll eventually find that the heaviest for caliber bullets will usually perform the best for you as they have the highest BC and will buck the wind better. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
