The RUM has been out since 1999. Probly not cool anymore. A big .30 gulps powder and has recoil, no matter which one. You can argue efficiency among them all day long. Splitting hairs. With Nosler issues concerning brass, I would be cautious investing in one. If you do, buy components when available. Especially brass. The RUM went through a shortage and other brass makers from Remington stepped up. My bet is the Nosler won't fare as well. mtmuley
Very good points.
Is a RUM worth it if I am only looking to shoot 140-200g bullets under 500y? I already have the .450 that throws heavy lead and I feel I have a gap in coverage. I could see a 180g Accubond or partition filling in nicely.
Lets stop all the madness. Being a 300Wm fan I think its a great cartridge, Maybe one the best all around. BUT it is not equal with the .30 Nosler in any category.
At 300 yards
300 WM 2526 Ft energy @2447PFS with 190 Gr Accubond
.30 Nosler 3193 FT Energy @ 2617 FPS with 210GR Accubond
300 RUM 3015 FP Energy at 2741 FPS with 210 Gr Accubond
thats 25% more energy and 10% faster with a .30 Nosler 210 Gr vs. 300 WM190GR.
The RUM and .30 Nosler are more similar. The RUM is a tad faster with the Energy going to the .30
mevertsen;2756254 The only advantage that the Nosler has is being the same length as the Win Mag said:I haven’t handled either of these. Why is a standard length action more advantageous than a RUM length set up?

No advantage. Percieved maybe, but in the hand, none. mtmuley
If you’re only shooting 500 get the 280 AI.
I should have clarified that. The action is 1/2" ? Longer than standard. And they both require 26" barrels to maximize it all. I agree with the perceived comment. But with higher costs than the RUM because of the name hype.
