300 RSAUM ??
So I bought a Remington model Seven chambered in 300 RSAUM.
I'm guessing the gun is 10 years old due to the caliber being discontinued years ago. Its in great shape. I bought it relatively cheap.
Anyone have any experience with this caliber ??
Anyone have any good reload combinations ??
Thanks
Rob

Oops Sorry
Remington Short Action Ultra Magnum.
From what I read it was supposed to be the competition for the 300 Winchester Short mag but never really took off like the WSM did.

Thanks, I haven't shot it yet due to a lack of availability of ammo. I guess when Rem. stopped making the caliber the ammo dried up as well. I could purchase it from Midway but since I reload I just bought virgin brass and a set of dies. They will be here tomorrow.

The ballistics look impressive in Nosler's Reloading manual. I almost bought a Remington model 673 in this caliber a few years ago but I have a couple of 30-06's that I load for and the gain in velocity with the 300 RSAUM just didn't seem enough for me to get it at the time. Good luck with your purchase hope it's a good shooter for ya.
