Your comments John make me wonder about the 28 and 30 Nosler...it would seem like Nosler is really rolling the dice on these rounds. They are sure putting on a hell of an ad campaign for two new rounds in an already very congested market. Nice rounds, but to me, their only selling point is the rounds are 30/06 length, if that's important to you. There are already plenty of established rounds that get the bullet out at the same velocity, in relative terms. Well, to the point raised by this thread: brass. Available brass.
The CENTER will hold.

Had to call Nosler on another item and while talking to the gentleman on the phone, I asked about what I had heard. He assured me that ATK had not purchased Nosler....internet rumor. As MD said, family run, doing well with that business setup. Thank God...

Remington has a long list of introduced & then dropped items. I would go so far as to say that Remington's list of discontinued cartridges is longer than any other manufacturer , maybe longer than all other manufacturers put together.

Most of the people up a creek with no RUM brass are newcomers to the cartridge. When I first started shhoting them, brass was 38 bucks per 50 and readily available. Now I see gougers selling it for highly inflated prices. I still am on the lookout, but I really don't need any. I'll pay a fair price. It's good for trading also. Kinda like 215 primers which I also layer in a good supply of years ago. But again, I add more if the price is right. mtmuley

Well, if that was directed at me, I'm trying to recoup and not gouge.

In response to the original post - I had no problem finding new Norma 300 RUM brass at a few different sites. "In stock" At $2 a pop for Norma cases, I think its a good deal.

I have used some Norma 300 rum brass. It's pretty consistent, high quality stuff but it's sifter than remington and has less capacity. Federal is the same in regards to capacity and softness. I assume Nosler is about the same as its made by Federal IIRC.

It is commonly stated that Nosler brass is currently being made by Norma.

Resurrecting the dead here. We just don't shoot our RUMS that much, thought I had plenty of components, but the lack of brass is disconcerting... ISO 375 and 300 rum brass. Hit me up with offers....
Thanks, John

Back during the ammo crunch (like the last 7 years), I wandered off into less popular stuff like 240 Weatherby, 6.5x55 Swede, and a 45-70. Always seemed to be components around for those when a person couldn't find a 22 LR anywhere.
Had offers for some of my other stocks, but could not bring myself to sell.

Buddy of mine has a 300 RUM and I've seen it in action... I'm impressed. But a few months ago he suddenly became the owner of a 300 Weatherby. I think the topic of this thread had something to do with it.

I've got an old M-70 Winchester in 300 RUM I happen to be playing with today, it's all factory except for a kick ass paint job on it's syn stock by Darren75K here at the 'Fire, it's sitting on the back porch waiting for the barrel to cool after a chrono session with Retumbo and 210 LRAB's.
Gonna bench it in a bit to see how it shoots that load, 210's at an easy 3100 fps should be plenty.
I have around 300 sticks of RUM brass and 800 210 gr LRAB's.

My buddy runs the 200 ABs out of his RUM at 3150 or so. Man does that thing smack elk around. He took a spiker at around 520 yards or so and wow, it knocked him down, he stood up then just rolled down the mountain. It is an impressive combo.

That sounds good beretz, mine just shot 1.5"+ with my load above, I loaded three more and set em 25 thou deeper, if these 210 LRAB's wont shoot in this rifle, I'll have to break out the 230 gr Ham-Bergers.

I remember he tried the ABLRs a little in his rifle with RL33. It was pretty danged fast but never attained the accuracy he did with the 200 ABs. Either way, those 210's at 3100 are BAD medicine.

Possible Brass? No Idea if this is a deal or not, or if it is easily convertible. But if it is SPS has this 7mm RUM on sale. Is it an easy neck up or a No-Go I don't know.

Yup, my rifle is acting screwey with these 210 ablr's, put 2 in a ragged hole, fired two more that went 1.5" low left in another ragged hole. Pulled rifle apart, all looked good, reassembled and haven't shot today yet.
