buy the remington senderro 300 rum ,you w'ont regret it! and i d'ont know why you would worry about the price of shooting $$$, if you can buy the senderro ,you can probably afford the ammo!!! if your like me you might use the gun only for hunting a few times a year, you might fire a few rounds , i've got a few other guns to plink around with .204 ,270 etc.....i use my 300 rum in new brunswick mostly for moose hunting because of the clearcuts and bogs are a half a mile to a mile long,theres no problem for this caliber when the stars are lined up at 300 or 400 yards, no need to cheat this baby!! drop the crosshairs and pull the trigger!!! i have no problem with the 300 win mag, it does the job but bigger is always better, that,s my .02 cents. have some safe shooting and travels!
