You'll probably get sick of me because I've always been an archery Hunter. But now I'm wanting to get a rifle capable of shooting long range. I've decided to buy parts to build a rifle, but can't make up my mind between a few calibers. I'm considering 28 nosler, 30 nosler, and 300 RUM. I sometimes see people comment on 7 mm guns not being enough for elk, and most of that is probably due to using the wrong bullet, but I wonder if there is any merit to it. The 300 RUM seems great, but my understanding is that it's expensive to shoot, has a ton of recoil without a brake (not really an issue since I'll have a brake), and isn't as ballistically efficient as the 28. Then the 30 nosler caught my attention. Seems like it eats less powder than the rum, but brass seems a bit tougher to find. It really seems like it sits between the 300 wby and rum but doesn't seem to have as much a following as the 28. So is the 30 nosler unreasonable to even consider? What should I pick? Keep in mind I'd like for this gun to handle all Western species other than grizzlies.
