[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 91025, member: 10"] Is this going to be a complete new rifle or are you using your 300 RUM for a donor receiver to build on. IF your building new, I would say to drop down from the belted magnum case and look at the 6.5-06 AI or the 280 AI with something in the 120 gr weight with the 6.5 and 140 gr in the 280. Very usible for big game and very low in recoil. If your using your 300 RUM receiver, this is not relevent. In a 26" barrel your really cutting the legs out of all the chamberings you list except the 264 Win Mag. They will all work well but teh velocity gains over the WIn Mag class of rounds will not be great in these small bore rounds. That said, the 257 STW is a great round as is my 257 AX and 6.5mm AX. Both are the full equal to the STW but in a 3.400" OAL round instead of a 3.700" round. With a 120 gr bullet though, the larger rounds you list will be very similiar to the 7mm magnums in recoil.
