I've built several 300 RUM's for myself and others for long-range rigs. So far I've stayed between 27-30". My brother-in-law's 300 RUM on a Mato action is 27", my RUM is 30". With the same load (94gr Retumbo) and a 200gr Nosler accubond I get right at 3250fps, the 27" barreled rifle delivers something around 3145 if I remember correctly. It does a good job and has killed a few elk at 850 and one mule deer at 1180. The Nolser AB has performed very well at those distances for penetration and expansion. Shoot straight, shoot often.

I have 300 Rum with Barrels from 26" to 30". I like 30 on a dedicated long range rifle, but 26" will produce good velocity I like Krieger and Rock Creek barrels and that is what I use _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||

Fot a strictly/mostly range rifle I would go with a 32". That would allow you to set the barrel back a few times after the throat gets burned out. For a strictly hunting rifle I would go with a 28". That would allow you to set it back once or maybe twice. After all how many rounds do you think you will get out of a barrel, before it needs to either be set back or replaced with a 3oo RUM???
