[QUOTE="6.5shaggy, post: 571558, member: 13311"] I have a .284 Win on a Stiller tac 300 that will drive a 180 vld to 2950 fps on 40 grains less powder than a RUM, and has flattened hogs out to 900 so far. I have shot RUMs and I like BIG hammers, but I'm starting to prefer the efficiency of the .284, and ability to spot my own hits. I think spotting your own hits with a RUM un-breaked would be tough. You also mentioned ringing steel. My .284 has no problem hitting steel NRA rams at 800, 900, 1000, 1160, and 1256 at our range, and does it for about $0.20 a round less than a reloaded 300 RUM. The WSMs would good choices in long actions but short actions eat too much powder space on long bullets. Just my 2 cents worth, I hope it helps you. Do what YOU want and by all means have fun doin' it.gun) [/QUOTE]
