[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 225582, member: 8622"] I love those Krieger barrels! Have used them in competition, and for hunting for several years, always with good results. Of the cartridges you list, the only one I've loaded for and shot was a .300 RUM. What a cartridge! Big. Fast. Powerful. Capable of some outstanding accuracy with very limited load development. From a 26" barrel I even saw some factory Remington 200 grain cartridges break 3200 fps! This slightly boggled my mind - and when I started handloading for it, 3150 fps was no problem with 200 grain Sierras and a healthy, but less-than-max load of Retumbo. Some have had issues with Remington factory brass - I never did - it was reasonably decent stuff that cleaned up well. So... I can't think of a reason to not use the .300 RUM. Good factory ammo. Decent components and great results. Krieger - good choice! Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
