[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1588145, member: 78056"] If you have elk in your future (or anything else big or that bites) I would vote for a .338 RUM (I know, not on your list, still, it's a good elk round). A second choice would be the .338 WM, as long as you realize it's an obsolete cartridge as the belt is totally unnecessary. Another good choice would be the 300 RUM. Since you reload you can easily tailor ammo to the situation as there is no need for a 200 or 250 gr. bullet to take a WT. Even though I don't have either of the RUM cartridges, I did load development for a buddy with a 300 and i fell in love with them. Accurate in his R700 with 200 gr. Partitions leaving at 2945, he has taken several deer with that load and there are elk in his future as well. I also got as many as 15 loads out of several pieces of brass, *during load development!* I lost a few pieces around 7 or 8 but mostly it's been a dream to work with. I'm going to be working up another load, probably with 165 Partitions for his young daughter who actually likes shooting daddy's 300! Kid is probably nuts but who cares, she's having a blast so who's to argue with that? Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
