Yeah i dont believe i would be able to get much more then 2600 safely using a 245. A change of components and barrel would have to be my option. So if i can find something that will already fit in my gun without having to buy a new action, that would be my goal. So here i am at the 300 rum (or a variant) or a 300 prc (or a variant)

This is a LONG RANGE HUNTING FORUM.
Those of us that hunt TRUE LR use the tools required to do such things with the best that we can. This means LONG barrels, steady rests and bags, scopes and other gadgets to do so.
I see so much banter here about 16.5", 18", 20" & 22" barrels it amazes me.
Who uses these barrel lengths for true LR hunting?
Unbelievable!
I've been amazed as well, at how many fantastic cartridges are neutered before the first shot is fired.
Turning a great rifle into a long pistol!
But, mine are 26-28" and I don't use suppressors.
Performance #1
Everything else #2

Here's one of my LR builds.
REM 700, trued and blueprinted, pinned .250" recoil lug, switch barrel in 264WM with custom chamber and throat to my specs. 29.5", 8" twist barrel on the rifle, below, 7STW barrel, 26" factory barrel I reamed from a 7RM.
Trigger Tech, PT&G stainless bottom metal, PT&G fluted one piece bolt (not shown) that bolt shown got a PT&G cocking piece to fix timing and cock on opening issues, in the end didn't use it.
The action is as slick and smooth as any custom action. Raceways and lugs were stoned and polished.
Cheers.

I would consider to just go buy a 300 Weatherby and be done with it. No fuss no muss. The barrel life is longer with a 300 RUM and you can buy ammo anywhere, you will not find RUM ammo in some places and the selection on it will be low, meaning you will probably have to reload.
Happy shooting.
