Smaller like coyote and hogs....but i may get the urge to go try a muley, pronghorn..or something else. Is the 300RUM hard on barrels?
The nice thing about a 300 RUM is that it will do it all. Heavy loads for Elk and Moose (200 or 225 grain bullets), medium loads for deer size game (160 to 180). and you can buy loads called Managed Recoil from Remington or load them your self (They are about the same as a 30/06 with 150 grain bullets).
The 300 RUM is not hard on barrels unless you over heat it buy shooting large numbers of ammo fast. Even then it is not terrible.
The RUM seems to be very forgiving for different loads. But for the heavy loads you will probably
want to install a good muzzle brake. I have a sporter weight 300 RUM and have gotten it down to under 11 ft/lbs of recoil with a tuned brake.
