I havent completely ruled out the 300RUM just not dead set on it like I was.
FWIW, I believe there is a decent base of handloaders to take advantage of the variable power nature of the round. I would also proceed very slowly and cautiously. I also take your issue of barrel life seriously. If you ended up going custom, maybe there are some longer life barrels out there. Still intriguing as a "one gun" concept, but just less than fully successful application at this time, as I understand it.
I think the Noslers are almost too new to tell, at this point. But, if you were thinking 28 Nosler was a viable option before, 30 is probably going to be even better for something Elk-sized at 400 or 500 yards - just MHO.

Yea a 30 is what I really would like to stay with so the 30 Nosler diff peaks my interest. The 338 is bigger than I would like and more than what I feel I need for elk, I am comfortable with using a hot 220-230g bullet on a elk.
