[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1161463, member: 10429"] I have the 300 RUM and there are a few things that are left to liking for this caliber. First off Remington is not supporting the brass as they should which really pees me off the most and loaded rounds are always low stock. The mag box is way, way to short. I think my rifle is addicted to Retumbo or it may be just me. The up side. It shoots the heavy 230's really great but I'm single feeding. It has probably enough energy with a well placed shot to kill at 1500 to 1600 yards with heavy bullets maybe even futher. When all said and done the cost between a 338 LM and the RUM isn't enough to me so I wish I had went with the 338 LM. LM brass is great brass and I think the LM cases open up a few different powder options. Maybe it's just me on the powder but it seem retumbo produces the best over all results but I haven't tried RL33 yet. Nosler brass is close to the cost of LM brass so why not go to the LM and brass life is long. I think when my barrel get tired the action will get trued and the rifle will probably get turned into a 28 nosler. It might not have the energy as the rum but hopefully the whole cartridge support will be there and brass. The LM will come later. [/QUOTE]
