[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 490579, member: 505"] On average about 125 fps gain with the 300 RUM over the 300 wby. So if your 300 wby shoots accurately no need to go to the trouble. The 300 wby is very capable at 1000+ yards. With a 200 grain bullet the 300 wby hits around 3100 fps and the 300 RUM around 3225 fps with max loads. That is an average of many rifles on my range and the 5-6 300 wby's I have and three 300 RUM's I have. Mine have 26-28 inch barrels. I have owned and shot the 300 wby since the 60's and the 300 RUM since before remington introduced it in 1999. In the fall of 1999 I started hunting long range with the 300 RUM taking several animals including elk and caribou. I still use it regularly for long range. I have about everything in rifles and the 300 RUM remains one of my top choices when I go hunting. [/QUOTE]
