if the critter is 300 yards away, dial up a VariX III all the way and put the post on the chest.

I've never used the post as an aiming reference but it sounds like a good idea considering a 200 yard zero would put the bullet between 7-10 inches low at 300 yards. At 300 yards, on the highest mag (10 for me) how many inches is it from the cross-hair to the top of the post? Also, considering many of the people that read this will be shooting with different magnifications, at 300 yards, does this hold true for any variable ie. 3.5-10/4.5-14/6.5-20? I would think it would vary considerably. No big deal as long as this method is tested at the range first but some may read this and take it as a fact for their scope/load/gun.

Buy your RUM brass now, and rat hole a bunch, because they won't be making it in ten years. I have to laugh at Remington and Winchester. They stop selling the old standby chamberings to boost sales of their flavor of the month rifles. So people go "Hmm, that's nice", and buy Tikkas, CZs, Howas, Sakos, or whatever.
There are good new rounds from time to time. The 416 Rem Mag and 376 Steyr come immediately to mind. The 338 RUM doesn't.
