[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1193277, member: 64108"] Start with what you want to shoot(deer, moose, bear), how far you want to shoot it, and what bullet you want to shoot it with. That may narrow down the cartridge and caliber. Let's say the 300 RUM is one that fits your needs so far, then take it's advantages and disadvantages, that letter being hard to find brass and one of the best powders, Retumbo, is a bit scarce right now, as is the cheaper Remington brass. A 300 WM is close but a lot easier to get brass. There are lots of threads about reloading, etc, of those and many more on here. I have two 300 RUMs and love them. Think of buying a used one as starting with a Sendero ~$1,200, getting it blue printed($350), rebarrelled + brake($500-$700), you are well over the $2,000 mark and close to a used custom at that point. Nothing wrong with a Sendero, it is the 2nd most accurate most accurate factory gun I have owned. There are a lot of great choices ! [/QUOTE]
