[QUOTE="scpaul, post: 2822994, member: 76393"] I bought my 300 RUM on a whim. A guy came into my GS and wanted to sell it. They wouldn't give him what he wanted. I went out behind him and made a better offer and got half box of ctgs. with it. I think I paid 450 and the box of ammo that had some missing was all that had been through it. His friend told me on the Q.T. that he had developed a nasty "flinch" right after he shot it a couple of times. Imagine that !!! I expected great things that my 300 Wm wouldn't do. That was right after the 300 RUM came out with all of the hype. I think if I were shooting over 1k with a heavy bullet that I might see some advantage but I don't see that happening any time soon. I have done good with the recoil up to 180+. I'd wonder what it would be like with a 215+ bullet sent at max velocity. I think that I'd better hang on, haha. I've killed deer with it and they aren't any deader than with my o6, 300 win or any of my others. It just costs more in several ways. [/QUOTE]
