Honestly, I rarely take my 300RUM hunting. I usually take my 270Win, or 308Win. Why? I trust them, I have loads that are rock solid for them, and they don't weight near as much as my RUM. I have been on this slug gun rut for the past year. Only thing I have killed deer with besides my bow even in rifle counties. I like testing out different things on game these days to see the effect on the wound. I mean come on, any of these things will kill.

Yea, I get a little twitch when I see an 18 year old talking about wanting a 300RUM. Then I think, why do I care. I get more aggravated at peoples new way of hunting. I have really noticed a disturbing trend, which does affect me. Kids and adults sitting over big ole baitpiles. Seems people have lost the fun of trying to predict routes of game.

As an outfitter, if people misses their game it does affect you. So in one sense I see your point. But I think these people would ahve the same outcome if they were using a 30-06.
