My best hunting pal hunts with a .300 RUM 700 LSS. He had good luck on deer sized critters with the 180 Swift Scirocco factory load. I will caution that expansion is violent for this bullet at RUM velocities.

i mean by digest what factory load does it shoot accurately??
Since every rifle is different even if it is the same make and model, that is impossible to know for sure.A friend has a factory 700lss that shoots the 180gr partition load fairly accurately.

Mine will shoot the 180gr Scirocco decently enough, but I just hate the terminal performance...shot a 2 year old mule deer buck and the bullet didn't completely penetrate the neck. I realize it's a lot of muscle and bone, but I like exit wounds...impact velocity was ~2900fps, ~150yds, what if it had been a quartering shot on an elk?

I had one of those before I gave it away as a birthday present to my nephew. The normal Reminton 180gr partitions shot 1/2 groups at 100m no problems. Took a moose and 2 deer with it before giving it away.
