Re: .300 rum
Probably one of the least expensive ways to get to a mile and still has good energy.
Need to get Lapua to make brass for it.

Re: .300 rum
Probably 1000-1200. If you take care and don't over heat it. Great for a hunting rifle. If you're banging steel with 50-100 shots per range session get a 260. If your not shooting past 1K or need the energy, again a lighter round will work.

Re: .300 rum
I have a 300RUM and a 300SAUM and love them both. I hunt with them both and save my money and shoulder by target shooting with a 243 custom rig I built. I am working on getting some backstops built on my farm and I will be able to stretch the legs on the 300RUM. My local range only has 500yd capability (300UM just wakin' up at that distance).

Re: .300 rum
all i see on that thread is two girls going at it
but anyway
it seems like a hell of a cartridge
yes it seems like a barrel burner but so what
maybe when you burn out the barrel you switch it to .338 edge
i may just pick one up

Re: .300 rum
I've got a RUM for F Class and one to hunt with, they are in my opinion the best all around hunting cartridge and work great for 1000 yard but no doubt are tough on barrels. My target setup doesn't have really a heavy enough barrel on it and it does warm up quickly so I limit my shooting with it. When that barrel goes away I think a 300 WSM may go on there for a try. The barrel and my shoulder might both last a little longer that way!

Re: .300 rum
I can attest to barrel life, I got about 1200 rounds outta mine and my barrel is toast. I have a quote from Kirby about rechambering it to a 338 edge. But I think I am going to stay with the 300RUM and move up to a 28-30 inch barrel. I have a great load so I just need to come up with the money for a new barrel.

How many shots per string did you usually shoot before cool down?

Re: .300 rum
My 300 RUM does spectacular at 1000 yards. I have a fairly mild load built for it that prints nearly 3/8 moa at 100 yards. I have found the best accuracy with the Berger 210gr Hunting VLD. It is loaded to produce 2800fps, which is where I have found the accuracy node with all the 210-220gr bullets I have shot through it (only 220 Sierra Matchking and the aforementioned Berger). At 1000 yards I dial 8.2mils and still maintain 1582fps and 1167ft-lbs of energy (almost enough energy to knock the frame over that my steel plate hangs from).
I personally shoot no more then 3 rounds at ANY given time. I have heard the 300 RUM is a barrel smoker, and plan to take it easy. My platform is a Remington Model 700P, with the factory 1in10 twist 26" barrel. The only thing I have done to it is add the muzzlebrake, which was a necessity as the scope was touching my forehead during recoil above 2700fps. I didnt want the half moon above my right eye so I had the brake installed, and do not regret it one bit. Recoil is much similar to my 308 now.
(P.S. it is for sale in the for sale section here. I have decided to rebarrel my 308 to 260 and my 223 to 223AI with an 8 twist)
