[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1663479, member: 13632"] I've seen the 300 RUM done at 300 rounds, MANY in the 600-800 round range, there are always ones that go longer but it helps if your shooting close and hitting a pie plate is accuracy. I don't see the point of blowing 90+ grains of powder down a 30 cal hole to kill stuff at a range that you could load the same exact bullet in a 308 and burn 40 grains of powder and have the same results. That's why the 300 Win, 300 WBY, 30 Nosler and 30PRC capacity cases are so popular, you get 98% of the performance, double the barrel life and less recoil. I can't count the times I've seen guys with a RUM that are running Win mag velocities and all they get out of it is to say they are shooting a RUM, burning more powder and enjoying more recoil. I've gone thought multiple barrels in all but the 375 RUM and the only ones really worth are the 338 and up IMO, below that and there are to many chambering that over all way out perform the RUM.
