300 Remington Ultra Magnum ... ELR

[Don A Parsons]

Why would it not be an outstanding """30""" caliber rifle...

One would think that were my F Class 308 rig shoots good at 8 and 900 meters,,, would the RUM 30 caliber not reach out past where mine drops off...

The extreme max loaded hot can get my 168gr boolitz into the 10 to 1100 meters before things go sideways. Ha.

I shot my LR 30/06 LR in Southern BC's 1 km challanges,,, pretty sure the RUM would over take that distance as well...

The thread is about """30 caliber""" and something in that class that shows promising results in a factory configuration,,, from what I gather...

The combinations of those 2 elements in factory rifle stock and in 30 caliber are impressive one would think...
This is not saying that other 30 caliber configurations aren't capable of being good shooters either...

Of course there are better this'es and that's,,, but for the bang per buck I would have to say yes...

Not only can that setup show good results on paper,,, it can substitute as mid weigth hunting rifle...

The rifle,,, good optic,,, and dialed in ammo are 10% of the mix,,, the real 90% comes from the man that makes it happen...

I would think that our friend with the skills under his belt is more than capable of managing what he holds in his hands.

By the way,,, nice package Austin,,, good on you for taking on the good times,,, that's what really counts.

so your entire post left out the item that has been the issue.
"Chambered for the 300 RUM is an outstanding . 30 Caliber Benchrest Rifle"

not "outstanding 30 cal rifle"
not about "The thread is about """30 caliber""""
ya just skipped right by the pothole in the middle of the road.

It looks like a triple duty. But they do not have them as 34mm. What one is it? I might be missing the 34mm triple duty.

Yep, it's a Triple Duty , don't know if you can still find them with the 34mm tube, got this one thru S.G. years ago.

Thanks Don, always enjoy reading your comments ...

Ha... Yuppers,,, I like stepping past the pot holes,,, the deep ones up here in the North normally en-gulf the biggest of track hoes,,, make sure the boom is extended up ward before bailing,,, that way we can find it the next morning. LOL

Your welcome Austin,,, I see where your going with this idea """I think."""

My plan 5 years ago was to own 1 gun,,, so now the plan is to own 1 cartridge with lots of guns all chambered in the same caliber,,, only problem is that 1 of my 3 is not like the others,,, Ha. At least not yet...

Let me guess...

A cartrage that can be loaded hot to reach out there with the options of tapping kool in the off season if you choose to go that route... Kinda like owning the Extrem of possibilities with the option making a charge that suits the applications at the time.

I could of used the same words since it sometimes leaves the door open for folks to read into things,,, I picked up on your idea of having a """30""" caliber Rifle as your BR unit,,, and the option of using it for other things,,, much like alot of us here...

Yes,,, definitely some BR,,, some prone shooting,,, maybe some free hand with sling,,, general plinking while leaning against a tree or shooting off the sticks or bypod at your choosing...

Had I known what I know now about reloading ammo,,, I would of kept my magnums,,, all 3 loads work for them...

Pet loads for the kids or wife that allows them to join in,,, medium loads for general plinking at your choosing,,, and load to a safe max for the part of good times...

The RUM offers this,,, you can tap it kool and extend the life of the brass,,, shoot frugal 30 caliber bullets with out breaking the bank,,, and decide the next day to reach waaaaay out there if you want...

What's not to like about your idea,,, it makes sence to me... A cartrage to cover all your needs.

I have friends in my area that say I'm crazy shooting my 30/06 at 1 km and beyond,,, I could care less what they think... The old timers said that the Ought-6 was a 1700 yard shooter,,, so I took mine to Southern BC to shoot the 1700 meter clay banks,,, Yuppers,,, the good old cartrage can reach out there on those calm wind-less days,,, deffinatly not the best long range rig,,, but Hey,,, I found out it can be done... I call it big barn door shooting. Ha... Just kidding,,, most of the time I can land all 20 shots into a 4 foot circle,,, more like a football shape...

It really comes into its own at the 1 km mark,,, 14 out of 20 into a 16" iron screen deck plate,,, the other 6 fliers are normally pretty close to the plate...

I'm pretty sure your unit will be rock solid Austin,,, that's what really counts,,, pushing the limits of good times.

 

[ar10ar15man]

so your 06 shoots FOUR POINT FOUR moa at 1093 yards(1km)
i see why you get along with the op

Ok I got you. I wish they had better reticles in there scopes. Might have to put the bug in there ear.

 

[Don A Parsons]

so your 06 shoots FOUR POINT FOUR moa at 1093 yards(1km)
i see why you get along with the op

Actually it's 37.1 MOA @ 1 km,,, and 114.7 MOA @ 1700 meters,,, let's not forget that the 178gr ELD-M boolitz are tumbling long before they reach the clay banks. Ha... That's why it's """wizer""" to shoot on calm days...

Of course there are better cartrages for long distance,,, only thing is that I'm on a fixed income that dosen't allow for unlimited spending...

And yes,,, I hope that I fit in with Austin,,, purhaps there are others that like having the options to own a Extrem magnum what ever that they can adjust loads to for their needs,,, and load them hot in the safe category to reach out there...

Its all about good times,,, that's what brother and sister hood is about,,, more of what we have in common with those we choose to hang around with.

Whether your using your favorite Rifle for Hunting, Target Shooting or both, your not restricted to only shooting at 100yds-500yds, whatever distance you strive to shoot at is up to you, many of us have been effectively shooting at Long Range and Extreme Long Range Targets way before all of this "gotta have this or that" if your going to shoot LR or ELR , Benchrest, Prone w/Bi-pod or any other way you choose to shoot.

Like Brother Don said … just enjoy the Sport of Shooting or Hunting …..

Fellas,

This is a simple thread as long as we keep our our senses about us and put these not so subtle jabs away because we just don't need them.

Folks come to here to ask for help, to get our feedback and to check their data against ours. Please try to stick with answering or asking a question to clarify what the OP has asked. We're all on the same side.

Well said, thank you …

Great post! Unfortunately it only takes 1 or 2 to discourage others from joining in. I have been shooting and hunting more than 40 years and i still learn something most every time i'm here. Surely there must be a better forum for those that want to create drama all the time?

 

[ar10ar15man]

in case you have not notice i take exception the the poor use of the english language.
it is not my fault that you have no clue about parts of the shooting sports and i think is is just as silly to write replies that pretend the errors of the original post do not exist.
keep pretending. i compete in 600/1000, and elr group and score shooting, i do not post pictures and make false claims.
