[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 140961, member: 1403"] Hey, glad you made it over. Theres nothign wrong with teh 300 WSM or RUM. The RUM is a little more powerful and will give you more reach, but at more cost. It will burn up barrels 2x quicker, burn 25g more powder, and kicks pretty good if you dont have a muzzle brake. WIth that said, the 300 WSM shines with bullets from 180-190g, the RUM shines with heavier bullets like the 210g and 220g, even 240g. I"ve shot my 300 RUM to 1150 yards at a 15" steel plate with the Berger 210g VLD with satisfactory results from a bone stock rem 700. YOu will not be able to fit the RUM in a short action. The WSM you will be able to, but you will not be able to take advantage of the bigger higher BC bullets, which is really what you need for LR shooting. Theres a bunch of good guys over here, should be able to get you set up the way you want. [/QUOTE]
