What to do with a Winchester 300 RUM Action?
I have just come into possession of a Winchester classic in 300 RUM. What big bore can I build on this action?

thanks

Va[o,

Just sent mine to PACNOR for a 470 capstick tube Cool It will fit any of the H&H sized cases, as it is the long magnum action.
Buckeye-I don't know how many of these they made, but the 300 rum and 7mm stw were all over the place a year or 2 before they closed the factory (everybody and their mother was selling them for 499, oh the good old days)

Barrel it to 404, and enjoy it until someone here wants it more than you do.

Cool. I was hoping it would work for the 404 cause I just really NEED one.

As others have said I would make a 404 Jefferies or as a second choice any caliber based on the 404 Jeff. case can also be made, Dakota's calibers are mostly 404 Jeff. based cases, there is certainly no shortage of those today. I saw one recently made into the 300 Dakota.
