Thread: Building a big gun?

Hi Guys,

Im thinking of building a 300RUM and using 220+ pills.
It will be a hunting gun for big stags in the roar. I know people will say you don't need a big gun and a 308 can do it all.
But there is no replacement for displacement and I want to drop them on the spot.

I was thinking of building it on a 700 and getting a 4" mag box with a fast twist barrel to stabilise the heavier longer pills.

Im after some info on anyone that's had experience with the 300 RUM or 338 Edge.
What they have built and what they wish they had done.
What loads they have used.

Cheers
