Agree with JoeSmith, especially say if you're comparing a .300 RUM say loaded by federal premium or anyone else for that matter with premium bullets such as nosler or barnes, also, unless you do alot of shooting/plinking at the range, a box of ammo for a hunt at $60 is of little impact on a hunt. I think its funny of late all the Rem ultra mags etc.....high velocity loads by the others, which .300 weatherby has been around for a while now, certainly longer than .300 RUM, etc....
