[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 2718723, member: 13"] I am in the process right now of getting a 300 SAUM center-grip XP built. I have that 500-600 yard max distance in mind with elk. That would be one option. 300 WSM - A tad more powder, but a great option as well. These are both SA Magnum cartridges. 300 Sherman Short would be another SA option: [URL]https://shermanwildcatcartridges.com/about-ss-cartridges[/URL] Going LA cases that actually work in a XP-100, so I am assuming they should work in the Striker too: 30-280AI (280AI case necked up to 30 caliber). Puts in the ballpark of the SAUM and WSM. 300 Winchester Magnum 300 PRC All of these have less capacity than the RUM. Since you are only looking for 500-600 yards, I personally don't see the benefit of the added recoil of the RUM for a hunting specialty pistol. Would I use a rifle scope on all of the above? Yes! It would have a Holland Radial Baffle Brake on it too. For what you are wanting, I would stay with a SA cartridge. [B]Since this is your build, choose the cartridge that you want![/B] [/QUOTE]
