[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1061610, member: 63138"] Maina One other thing. The 300 RUM is a great choice. I have one and it is sweet for long range shooting HOWEVER... it will seriously mess up whitetail sized game unless you use the right bullet. For 500 yards and less I suggest a Barnes TTSX or LRX in the 168 to 175 grain area (you want light for caliber bullets with Barnes to keep the velocity and shock value high). Out past 500 yards I'd go with the Berger 210 HVLD (and use those for long range practice since they are cheaper than the Barnes). Since most people that think they are going to hunt "long range" actually shoot their game under 600 yards you will end up using the Barnes most of the time.
