[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1065502, member: 68875"] The .300RUM is a great LR hunting cartridge. Mine has taken 3 elk, and one mule deer. And rang steel out to 1350 yards consistently. I have had one since they first came out back in 1999, and have been reloading as soon as dies were introduced, way before there was any load data available. I just weighed the water capacity, and started light, working my way up. I have had a few different loads over the past 16 years, and I am still on my first factory barrel, a 26" 1 in 10" twist with a KDF muzzle brake. I don't think the statements of, "If you install a muzzle brake, it will kick like a .243" are quite accurate, but they help tremendously. My 12 year old daughter used mine last November to take a great AZ bull elk. Here are a few of my more accurate load recipes, but you need to start light and work your way up.
