ROTFLMAO.. Let's see new round that's finicky ,guns needing new barrels for best accuracy, alot more powder for minimum gains over existing calibers. I'll run right out and buy one......not.
Everyone thinking of buying one should be able to read this thread.
One great advantage involve in holding an FFL is that one has the privilege of buying new toys, shooting same and if not satisfied with the piece, passing it along to someone who may enjoy it, while at the same time suffering little or no loss. This was precisely the path I followed, after my venture into the world of re-loading 300RUM. The round was not for me, but I had fun and didn't lose anything on the experience.
Countless "new and improved" cartridges have been introduced over the past 40 years of my gun-sports activities. Most of those "wonder' cartridges have gone the way of the do-do bird, while others have been re-named and re-into'd to again receive the ballyhoo from gun rag writers. Recently belted magnums have given way to fat, long beltless cartridges, which now are feeling pressure from shorter, fat cartridges. There will, of course be a shake-out and not all of the new cartridges will survive that melt-down within the marketplace. Will the 300RUM make it?.....Stay tuned and find out!
