338 Rum or 300 Prc build?

[isu600rr]

Hi all,
Im looking to build off a doner rem 700 action, currently a 300rum.Im trying to decided between a 338 Rum or a 300 PRC . i just dont want a barrel burner 300rum. I already have a 300wm an 6.5 an 7mm rum . new to long range but can handle hard kicking rifles an i do reload.
May i please have your thoughts an opinions

Why go 300prc when it's just a few fps faster than a properly throated 300wm that you already have? Factory ammo? I can understand that. The 338 rum is a beast. My 338 rum pushes 300 bergers @ 2820 very accurately. It's throated long and is using a 4" mag box.

.338 RUM would seem to fill gap in your current line up. A pretty solid performer, that can do pretty much everything with.

If you shot 300 RUM, convert that baby to a 338 Edge and repurpose all your empty brass.

Well I can tell you from experience that the 338 Rum and 338 Edge are very close .
That being said your choices given were a 300 prc and the 338 Rum .

Build a 338 Rum 28" proof or Carbon in a 1/9 twist, T-3 Termanator brake and a McMillan Edge fill stock . Light weight Scope and push the 300 gr bergers .
I have had excellent luck with H-1000 !
You should expect velocity about 2850 to 2900 ft.per.sec.
This should be a fantastic Elk , long range Mule deer combo ! If your shooting ability is up to par !

The difference in my partners rifle (Edge), and mine (RUM) is negligible. Standard magnum configurations about 9lbs.

338 RUM is an awesome round. That gets my vote! Mine will push a 285 gr Amax to 2945 with a case full of H1000.

what stocks are you guys running along with scopes? bc its a pain in the *** to find one that will accept thr bigger mags

I use a standard model 70 magazine. I think that was 3.6". I don't use 300 grain bullets, and I don't see the need for more magazine for my use.

4-16X ATACR F-1 currently on the rifle.

I have a bell and Carlson stock with a wyatts 3.8 box topped with a vortex pst 2 5-25 on my 338 RUM

The 338 rum with the right bullets is a whole magnitude of power above the 30. But a good 30 is no slouch either. Elk, moose, and the big bears is where you will see the difference. It numbs them.

Grayboe Renegade (3.8" box). Scope is a Vortex PST II 5-25

Very nice, how do you like the grayboe renegade stock?
