I think a scirocco offers what I like from hunting rums.

I picked up some 300 RUM 180gr Scirocco Bonded. Packaging says Power Level III muzzle 3250fps. It had the highest retained energy at 200yds. The package also lists a 200gr A-frame muzzle 3032.
Right at $3 a round  :yike:

Hornady offers a 308 Win 168 gr Z-MAX or a 30 Cal .308 110 gr V-MAX. That round in a reload 300 RUM would explode on coyote.

If I only had one rifle I'd buy another one or two or .....................
My wife says it's an addiction, I say it's a healthy love of quality engineering, oh hell I just like guns.

In my 300RUM I'm using 210VLDs

When digging and found I had a lot more .300 RUM than I thought. Kinda like a birthday present in between.
60 rds 150gr Scirocco, 60 rds 180gr Barnes, 40 rds 180gr Nosler, 39 rds 200gr Nosler and 40 rds 180gr Scirocco. Think I will try the 150gr Scirocco loaded to 30-06 levels first.
