Calling long range shooters and elk/ram hunters

So looking to get a rifle for long range target shooting and for future elk and ram hunts. Plan on loading for it and rounds I am looking at are 300 RUM and 30 Nosler. Any other 30 call rounds I should look at? As for the rifle I am thinking a Rem 700 LR if I go with the 300 RUM. Decently priced for what your getting and has good reviews. Only think I am a little worried about it is its 9lbs without a scope. May get a little heavy lugging it around chasing after an elk.

I have a 300 WM and love it. No reason to go bigger in North America and it will shoot as far as you are capable of. I got mine for elk. It's pretty much the most popular elk caliber.

300 rem ultra mag would be my preference. But i love my 7 rem mag.

Couple days ago you were asking about the cheapest deer rifle that was worth a flip and now you are asking about elk and ram guns wth

Sako 85 LR in 300 WM. Put a S&B on top and you set to outshoot Chris Kyle.

I have a McMillan 30-378 that I like a lot. Have shot targets comfortably out to 1000 yards. But, it's not much fun to do all day.
Instead of the common 174 grain bullet, I had Superior Ammunition (I don't load myself) load some 150 grain Nosler Accubond. I chose that specific round after testing several others and finding it the most accurate for my rifle.
The downsides to the 30-378 are moderately heavy, recoil, and long barrel makes for difficult walking in brush country.
Overall, I'm very happy with it. I've been successful on a Dall's sheep hunt.
