[QUOTE="lovdasnow, post: 96604, member: 5082"] First, thanks for all the replys, you guys are very helpful. I think I have my choice down to either the 300RUM or the 338RUM. I don't know anyone with either cartridge, so a couple questions about them. First, I would like to shoot them a fair amount at a time, and don't want to get too bruised or beaten, so how does the recoil compare on these two? (I'm going to get a holland brake installed.) I would like have a decent weighted carry rifle, so it wouldn't be all that heavy... Also would a 26-28" barrel be enough to optimize these rounds? I know 30" is good, but didn't want to go that long. What rate of twist would be good for 200-250gr bullets? last question for now....kind of random...does anyone shoot a .338-378 weatherby mag out there? how is it, is it painful, good/bad....I just saw it as I was looking through my nosler manual looking at the RUMs....pretty impressive.. thanks again...jon [/QUOTE]
