Use the bullet you want for the task.
I had 2 300 RUM, one similar, one Bench Rest. Down to the BR for now..
If you want to shoot ELR games, determine the twist and pick the bullet for it. You should be able to get it to work without too much trouble.

I run 180g Barnes TTSX in mine.
The rifle you have is NOT a varmint model VSSF, it is the Sendero, either original or Sendero II.
I also will be running 210g ABLR bullets in mine, developing loads right now with Retumbo, I always work up loads in the heat of Summer, no nasty surprises…
Cheers.

We started shooting the .300 RUM when it was first released in 1999. The standard factory rifles were not THAT special that they shot little tiny groups at 100 yards let alone 2-300 yards. So we built our own, gunsmiths could do that at that time. The hold up was the reamer, of course. We make our own barrels.
We use both the Remington M700 and the Winchester M70 actions. I later switched off to the Defiance actions.
Reloading was what we aspired to so I made a set of dies and we ordered bullets and powder. Primers were a given for us since we used the FGMM Magnum primers.
First off was the 180 grain Nosler Partition PP because the goal was elk. Retumbo was the primary powder. 3150 fps which provided 5/8", 3-shot groups consistently, 26".
Second attempt later was the 215 Berger over Retumbo again. 2950 fps magazine length provided a mishmash of 5/8" - 3/4" groups.
Lots of fun to shoot especially at those longer rangers beyond 500 yards. Easy load development, lots of powder and the heavier bullets. We still have a couple in the shop because we're working on some of the solids which have better availability now than back when.
Enjoy the search!
