Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting 300RUM...Good or bad thing?

I now a lot of fellows who started their long range career with the 300 RUM but don�t know any who stuck with it after actually killing more than 2 bulls at long range.

A very accurate cartridge in factory 700s but sooner or later the recoil or blast made everybody I know look for something else.

300 RUM has killed a bunch of elk but it might not be the best choice if you want lots of range.

The 7 Rem Mag with the 180 VLD will catch the 300 RUM with the 180gr Sirocco at 600yds at sea level and it will never kick anywhere near as hard.

Nothing against the RUM but there might be better choices if you are wanting more range.
