300 ultra mag

[wsucowboy]

The one you plan on hunting with.

That's what I have always done

[skier2480]

Level III, stuff them in the dirt!

[demontang]

After seeing a bear take a .225gr .338 win like it was nothing I would go level III. Not to say a 30-06 or 300 isnt enough gun, but why have a rum and not shoot full house loads unless your sighting in or getting use to the gun?

I hope you have some meat left after you hit it with the .300  .300 is a little much for a Washington bear but thats just me

I would look more at the actual bullet than the cartridge.  I think Power Level 1 is plenty for a black bear (at certain ranges with a sturdy bullet).  The Power Level concept is great, like with reloading, you can match bullet-velocity-animal for your intended difference.  If you are looking to go super long range you may want Level 3.  Nice thing about the bigger rifles is you can tune them lower when needed, but the small rifles are limited in what they can go up to.
I've heard there is a Power Level 4 now, but no stores can get them.  They are handloaded by Chuck Norris and he takes orders from no one.

Shot one deer with a ultra mag and all I know is it is one flat shootin mo fo ...it will for sure reach out and touch someone .....

This cartridge is capable of doing way more than most people can take adavantage of. I think I said that right

I am one of them, I rarely get ot shoot much lately. But when i retire i plan on spending some serious time putting bullets down range.

I know iprobably has happened, but this 300 RUM will make most bears go nite nite very quickly...

Level 4. 180 grain bullet going 4300fps.

[GHETTO GUIDE]

Level 4 cartridge is  a  Sasquatch only load and you have to have MARSEC clearance IIIB to obtain them.   

[MtnMuley]

Are you being serious about a 300 RUM shooting 180 gr. at 4300 fps? Sounds very fetched to me.

[CAMPMEAT]

That gun will kill what you hit. You don't need all this fancy bullet level crap. By whatever ammo and it will work. I  had a 300 RUM and I used Cor-lokt, or however you spell it. All the other stuff is just mfgr hype to sell more ammo, that's all.

[BOWHUNTER45]

Here this will clarify a few things ... Dont much matter with these type ballistics 

[BOWHUNTER45]

I will still keep my .270 ....

There is no level 4: only 3.
