[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 56119, member: 12"] Kirby Agree you can do all that, but bottom line is to what purpose and expense? A 300 WSM with quality 180 has more than enough KE energy, penetration and flat trajectory to kill anything in lower 48 at 1000 yards and punch paper much further. Now take the same tricks you outlined and do to the 8 lb 300 WSM and it will kick like a 243 and anyone can shoot it accurately every shot, plus fits into any magazine. While most 300 RUM shooters are not going to do that and even fewer will master the gun to shoot accurately past 100 yards due to recoil, muzzle blast etc. Just my 2 cents but the number of used 300 RUMs back it up.
