[QUOTE="dave300, post: 1268483, member: 60488"] Exactly! In fact both your posts on this thread are exactly how I see things, and did long before you built my latest, yep, another 300 RUM. Having said that, I also agree with a previous post regarding the 300 WM and the 215's, Broz has (I think) put the questions of that calibers capabilities to rest some years back. I have been fortunate enough to have had done load development for many 300 RUM's both customs and Sendero's. Most of them have been done for a few friends that guide for one, if not the highest producing Elk outfitters in Nevada. One of these friends spent the time to learn how to shoot long range and has just the one weapon, (Sendero 300 RUM) and when possible and agreeable has his clients use his weapon, it shoots the Berger 230's really well, it did right from the beginning. I clearly recall him calling me just as soon as he got signal on the first day of the season using his new RUM, having two clients in tow, he was fortunate enough to shoot a double one in the morning and one in the evening. His comments were I have seen well over 200 Elk harvested and I have never seen anything (in a 30 cal) consistently anchor the Nevada bulls like my RUM, now affectionately named "RED". This weapon runs right around 3016 fps using Remington brass, H1000, Fed 215m's and of course the 230 OTM's, with a energy of 2206 Ft-lbs at 1000 yards and 18.8 MOA, I agree with the masses that previously posted that this Caliber is far from being dead. My recent build is a 28" RUM, using RL26, Bertram Brass, Fed 215's and Berger 230's running at 3092 fps delivers 2349 ft-lbs at 1000 yards. Used this exact setup for my girlfriends cow elk harvest at 1130 yards, and a friend whom is elderly and a first time hunters cow elk at 730 yards, both falling upon impact. Hope this helps you in any decisions your facing? [/QUOTE]
