[QUOTE="britz, post: 213424, member: 7865"] I shoot a 300 wsm, and am not overly experienced in long range hunting, but I know my way around a balistics table and testing results. I shoot a 180 AB because I plan on shooting anyware from 30 -800 yards. The AB should give good performance at close range and will give you good balistics out to extreme ranges. In your RUM, you have more velocity and a longer action so I think a 200 AB would be an excellent choice if you intend to shoot close range too. Realistically however, a 240 gr SMK will do well on white tail at any range since they are fairly easy to kill. I would go for the heaviest bullets like the SMK if you strictly intend on white tail hunting and mostly intend on long range shots. If you want to shoot heavier game, then stick to the bonded bullets. All this is the opinion of a relitively inexperienced enthosiest of long range hunting of course. [/QUOTE]
