[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 91673, member: 10"] The 300 Win and 300 RUM will both make excellent long range rounds. Remember though that the higher the intensity of the round, the more difficult it can be to get good consistant loads. In simplier terms, it is generally easier to get a 300 Win Mag to shoot REALLY well then it is a 300 RUM. That said, both are not hard to make sure by any means. Other rounds to consider would be all the 7mm rounds from the Rem Mag up to the 7mm RUM. including the STW. The 7mm RUM is a bit hard on barrels for alot of shooting but it is impressive when the rifle is set up to use the heavy VLD or ULD bullets such as the 200 gr ULD RBBT Wildcat Bullet. Will offer ballistics above that of even the 240 gr class 30 cal bullets in the RUM. A more user friendly option would be the STW in my opinion and still offer plenty of power from the get go!! You will find the most important thing after a quality rifle build is what bullet your using. This will make more difference at extreme range then any other aspect of a properly designed and built rifle. Its the bullet that does the work after all the bang and boom is over. All bullets are not created equal either. Find out what you want to do and make sure there are bullets available in that caliber to get you want you want. Then build the rifle accordingly. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
