Whats your favorite RUM?

[cohunt]

So, what is your favorite U.M. for hunting and why?
7, 300, 338, 375, edge, edge +p , other ?????

Why?

Is the extra powder usage worth the gain over wsm, wm?

What about increase in recoil? How heavy is your rifle? What about barrel life?

How much further can you shoot, how much more velocity do you gain in equal length barrels over wsm or wm? How long are you loading ?

300 RUM, 30 caliber the bullet selection is nearly endless , extra powder not a even a question.

Don't bother with Trader Joe's Panama Rum.

I don't have a RUM (I'm also out of the other kind of rum). If I did the .300 is an easy winner. Although I do need a .375 of some kind in my collection….

The 7mm rum seems like too much of a good thing…and the .300 is almost enough!

We need to have custom barrels and bullets made that split the difference !!!! .296" is halfway between .284 and .308…we'll name it after this fine website, the .290 LRH!

What weight u runnin' ?

Sightron III 30mm on there it's right around 10 lb plus few more oz but old rig, used to it so , not a problem.

I have had three 300s (still have two). I would really like a 338.

300.

If I can find a decent rifle for my daughters, I'll start exploring the 338 version a little more serious.

Have a 7 two 30s a 338 and waiting on a 338 edge build. I favor the 300 (had them first) but really like the weight the 338s can push. What I think would b cool though is a 300 with a long 8 twist pipe and some 245s in a yellow box.
Oh and Captain Morgan on some Dr Pepper

Depends on the quarry.

Prairie dogs= 7 RUM
wolves= 338
Elk= either of the above

Im just starting to dive down this rabbit hole but starting out with a 30" 10 twist .338 McGowen barreled Sendero and a 26" 9 twist 7 McGowen barreled LSS.

Should be a fun ride but no good stories as yet.

I have them all. I like to have choices.

300 is my personal favorite, with monos being able to stand up to higher twist rates/ velocities I don't feel the need to step down to a 7 to shoot lighter bullets. Only have 1 right now (other two were changed to 30SMs) but it's a carbon barrel in an HS stock that weighs about 8#. TBAC 338 Ultra can, and it shoots pretty darn nice.

I run a 338 Edge for light class ELR, it's an easy button solution with ADG brass available.

PTG has a 6.5 RUM reamer that has been calling my name though....

338 RUM is my personal favorite. I recently moved from Cleveland, OH to Montana and I'm definitely looking forward to stretching it's legs here shortly.
