[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2378714, member: 116181"] To the best of my knowledge Remington is only chambering the 300 RUM currently. The SAUMS kind of are putting the RUMs out of the picture IMO. You don't need absolute max speed if you can increase consistency because optics have gotten so much better in the last 20 years. I'd do a 6.5 or 7 SAUM before a 7 RUM, and the 300 RUM is hanging on because it'll push the 245 Bergers from a magnum bolt face, not a .585" LM bolt face. I don't think they'll ever go away because "no replacement for displacement" will always have a place, but even then the 300 Norma and derivatives are making in-roads there. The RUMs are like the 1988 fuel injected 460. It was the last big hurrah for the huge case/deep bullet generation before the short case/ long bullet phase started. [/QUOTE]
