300 Ultra Mag. in Remington model

I like to refer to the 300 Ultra mag as the Ultra death lol

If you have to choose between those, then the 300 Ultramag. They are great calibers.

Get yourself a 338 RUM and never look back! :chuckle:

You beat me to it! :chuckle:
I'd go with the 338 unless you plan to shoot critters beyond 600 yards on a regular basis. A 250gr bullet from a 338 Win Mag will typically do a lot less damage than a 180-200gr class bullet from a 300 RUM on something small like a deer. For bigger game like elk I'll take the larger diameter and heavier bullet every time.

If long range is on the menu, I like heavy for caliber bullets in the RUM. I'm pushing a 230 grain berger OTM at 2950 fps out of my 27" 9 twist benchmark. It is an absolute hammer out to ranges beyond which I'm likely to shoot.
The 338 Win is very versatile but not the long range performer of the 300 RUM.

It depends on your intended use.:yeah:

230’s in the Rum = 1000 yards. Thats a push with the 338 imo.

Seeing the the .338 Ultra Magnum is based on a slightly shorter case length than that of the .300, 7mm and .375 Ultra Magnum's.
It is better suited for the heavies on the same size action. With plenty of horse power!
My vote would be for the .338 Ultra Magnum.
