[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1359637, member: 2460"] Couple years ago a gunsmith that used to contribute to this forum regularly explained why he no longer participates... " It no longer is a long range hunting forum ! it peaked 5 years ago and crashed downhill fast ......" after reading this entire thread I fully understand what he meant ....., guys are yakking about cartridges that will NEVER be "long range" even if you aim at the sun high in the sky and calculate the drop correctly, but even then won't have enough poop to properly kill the animal anyway ...... When the member count grows the members who were passionate about the groups "long range hunting" origins get trampled by the wild eyed bubbas with their run of the mill 100 yard pokers and the mission is derailed and compromised pretty sad, but aside from all that ......., the 300 RUM is the most underrated "long range hunting " cartridge ... it runs with the 338 Lapua, 338 Edge and 338 RUM with ease a large bull moose crashed at 1270 yards this past season by way of a 300 RUM .... a bunch of the cartridges mentioned in this thread have zero chance of doing that at half that distance, with some far less than that ....
