talk me out of a 300 RUM

[trjones87]

thinking about trying to pick up a R7000 bdl in 300 RUM. ive got a buddy that is trying to talk me into a 300 wsm but as of now im leaning towards the RUM.

ballistics look really good. muzzle break is going to be a must, sounds like that takes it down to just about the recoil of a 243

It destroys whitetails!

Its a great round, cant go wrong with it. Between my brother and I weve killed probably 50 animals over the last 10 years. If you can see it the RUM will kill it

[charrell71]

If you want it, get it.

[trophy8]

did you compare bullet cost? and availability?

just get a 30-378 weatherby

[Trykon514]

You wont regret the 300 rum

[Mr.RonGilbert]

DO IT

[texag93]

Not here, I want one for a 1000yd rifle.

Just bought a WSM yesterday. Can't wait to take her for a test drive.

Love mine. Good for everything up to Moose. Killed pigs to Kudu and love mine. No muzzle break on mine but the sendero model with the bull barrell takes some of the kick out.

It punishes on both ends and if you know the ballistics a less abusive caliber will have the same results.

They are nice at the range everybody gives you room with the noise without a muzzle brake. I can only imagine the noise with one. I have noticed the kick zeroing in but not bad at all while taking the shot on a hunt. Just make sure you have her seated in your pocket good and hold on to her.

Wouldn't think of getting rid of mine. Mine is sporter weight and gives a punch off the bench but never feel it in the field. No muzzle brake.

[Clintbow]

I'd get a 300 Weatherby.
