[QUOTE="REEDUSMC, post: 1068940, member: 68324"] The RUM is a solid round for sure, but consider this - a .300 WM loaded with 230 bergers rivals the ballistic performance of a .338 LM as well, but can also be loaded down suitably for anything smaller than possible the largest brown bears. I think the .300 WM is one of the most versatile calibers on the planet. I am currently having one spun up from Tim Cronin at Elkhorn Precision (he was one of the Blackops/UGSW builders). When going magnum try to avoid the rem 700 action as the flaws in that action are magnified under magnum pressures, and you can dump a bunch of money overcoming those flaws and end up at about the price for a custom action. Stiller makes a solid action, its not as smooth as defiance/Bat/Surgeon, its the 'blue collar' custom action - works hard and isn't overly pretty. It can also be had fairly cheap. This is a fun process - enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
