[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 1463736, member: 96274"] 300 Norma. Did some looking around for load data and the Norma matches or exceeds RUM velocity with an average of 8-10 grains less powder. Even if velocity comes up slightly shy of the RUM (I doubt in any situation the RUM will out pace it by more than 50 fps) you still have a much more efficient cartridge. The RUM is past the point of returns. Second thing I'd look at is barrel life, this can be subjective and no one might know just yet but I bet because of design the 300 Norma will have 50% more barrel life over the RUM. Next I'd look at brass, all the best on the market offer 300 Norma, and I don't think any of them offer RUM. Sure Bertram might run some RUM brass which is good stuff but it's thick heavy brass with lower case capacity possibly giving you a crutch on the performance you where looking for. What I'd be considering is whether to go 300 or 338 Norma! [/QUOTE]
