Ballistic charts are one thing, being able to shoot is another.
Good choice, shoot a bunch and get used to it.

It just amazes me that someone would buy a 300RUM and not really know much about them or ballistics.

RE: remington 700 300 ultra mag
i guess i should state it like this, what range will it still have the power to kill? i know these bullets will travel along ways but how far can i shoot an elk and still have the kinetic energy to kill it ?

Sounded like you was trying to be little the guy for asking a question.. If I'm wrong I apologize

defenbaugh, sorry that people are to good to answer your question directly; I will do my best to give you an honest answer. This gun will will kill most anything farther than you could shoot it accuratly. I would have your father just practice a lot. This will determine how accurate the gun is, and how well he can shoot it. If it is a MOA or better gun, and your father is a good shot, 400 to 500 is probaly going to be your max distance. When you get out farther than this, your groups may start to get to big to make a clean kill. If you want to check out ballistics, go to Remingtons website; I beleive Federal makes bullets for that gun to. Hope this helps.

Most out perform their owners, the 300RUM is no exception and will take game way further then most would even consider.The applicable range of his new 300RUM will be defined by his ability with the rifle not the chambering
.
Good Luck to him, it's a 30 calheavy weightcapable of everything in NA and many species abroad as well.

May explain some of the comments posted! It does appears knowledge islimited???? Worrying about how far it can kill something, may be putting the cart way before the horse??
Afterall this is a website with shooting/hunting addicts on it, been known to happen that passion leeks and even pour through key strokes.

Now now gentlemen - We all know that all our knowledge together does not come close to what BC knows.
