300RUM Will Knock Your Teeth Out!!! - 100 Yard Groups With Iron Sights 

My Dad bought a 7mm rem mag when they first came out. He had the gunsmith load him some hot loads and bore sight it. He took it to Wyoming, shot it one time, dropped a pronghorn at about 400 yards, one shot. After he got home, he took it to the range, fired two rounds, and said "That's enough". Missed his target by about five feet each time, nursed his bruised shoulder and black eye for all the sympathy he could get, put the rifle in the closet and never fired it again. That was 1971. He used a Mauser 7X57mm after that, until he passed away in 2011.

I'd be flinching hard every shot, partly because of the recoil, but mainly at the thought of $5 every time the trigger is pulled.😖

"I wanna say I got dead center" Don't we all bud don't we all 😂

I love the 300 RUM. I'm a big guy and I have to admit the recoil was rocking me. I did not like it. I put on a soft recoil pad and a muzzle break and it drastically reduced the recoil. Now I love it. It shoots so flat and minimal wind drift. Its a very powerful and accurate rifle.

I wonder if it is the rifle itself, because my father had a 7mm weatherby mag, that kicked him like a mule. But my wife has a 700 remington bdl in 300 rum and she shoots it all the time. She also shoots my 338 rum, and she only weighs 150 lbs and no i dont load it at 30-06 levels for her. I really like the 300 rum because if you reload, 30 cal bullets are usually pretty inexpensive compared to other large diameter calibers. However, waiting for the powder to drop into either of the rum cases from the funnel, is quite impressive. On a darker humor level, if you take it varmint hunting out west, you only have to hit near them.... I cant wait for the clay block video.

I know this is a stretch but you need to run that thing out at 300 yards and then run it out at five hundred yards on your gallon jugs that would be a really fun video

I'm glad you finally bought one. I hunt with a 300 rum here in Montana. Have taken a lot of Elk and Mule deer and even Antelope with mine. I like the stock on that Savage man, it's pretty.

I bought a stainless Remington 700 a few years after the 300 rum came out. I found load data online with 165 gr and reloader 22. The loads chronographed at over 3700 FPS and was very accurate. The barrel was extremely hot after a 3 or 5 shot group.

Interesting for sure how different ammo can group so differently. I learned for my Dad to all ways sight in your rifle with the ammo your taking on a hunt. No matter how expensive it is, or hunt with cheaper ammo lol.

Man oh man, I've been waiting for this !! Now someone else can experience the joy of pain or the pain of joy lol.

I had to LMAO at "it took 3 days for my teeth to fall back into place!" You are awesome Bro. Great find and great video!!!

Took a mule deer in Wyoming at 505 yds. Dropped in its tracks. 165 gr Nosler at 3,280 fps. It was an awesome experience. Mines a Savage 112 stainless with an adjustable muzzle break. Great groups will iron sights. Imagine how small they will be with a scope!! Great shooting!!!

Ive got iron sights on my new 110 Hog Hunter. It take some getting used to again. I also found my hex keys were too small to adjust the sight. Now I have the 1/16" key on a new gun multi tool I'm good to see how my adjustment went. It takes me over an hour to drive to where I can shoot 100 yards. That may wait as bird season is on and big game starts afterwards. The hog hunter is a back up and medium weight barrel fun shooter in 308.

Always wanted to build a LRPR in 300RUM with red accents and engrave Redrum on the barrel.

One of those rifles that kill from both ends 😂😂 good stuff!!

Kill on one end and maim on the other LOL! My 300 WinMag Ruger M77 MkII All Weather is as much fun as I care to endure, and honestly, no animal will notice the difference between a 180 grain bullet from it and a Weatherby or UltraMag. But if you like it, then I'm happy for ya'.

You ain't kiddin about this round! My brother found one really cheap and got it. Well when he finally found ammo it was about 90bucks a box and this was way before the ammo pandemic. We all shot that thing a few times and it's all any of us wanted of it 😁 and the Bushnell wanted none of it either as it broke a crosshair. We live in Alabama so we have deer not T-Rex! Y'all stay safe and God bless

Pretty good shooting for iron sights. Shows you the difference that different bullets make.

That’s a good example of different ammo shoots differently

Iron sights are becoming a lost art..back in the day scopes coat as much as the gun..we all hunted in my group with iron sights..now I be old I like to see down range lol...thanks

Toward the end of this video, I put it on pause for to do some internet research on the subject of the .300 RUM. I come for to find out that factory loads generally push a 180-grain pill out at about 3, 300 feet per second or mach 3. That is about 150 feet per second faster than what a 180-grain factory load comes out of a .300 Weatherby. With a cannon like that, you might do well to fit it with a fixed power scope. It will take more and harder jolts than variables at a similar price. Also, the scope will get your mug up at a better angle to the stock. I suspect that the drop at the comb on that rifle was determined in view of a scope and that the irons were just mounted as back up. I recommend six power. When I was a young and callow fellow starting out in the Okanogan (land of my dreams), north central Washington State, circa 1971, I paid $75 plus the burdensome Washington sales tax for a Remington 1903A3 with a new civilian stock, new reblue, and a front blade and a rear peep. As time went on and I became more smart and more pecunious working like as slave at the infamous Biles Coleman Mill, I decided in the summer of '74 that I would like to have a telescopic sight. I researched the cost and feasibility of bent bolt and drilling and tapping and decided instead to trade the rifle in as it was toward a new Weatherby Mark V chambered in .300 Weatherby. I paid about $500 for the rifle and 3X-9X scope (already mounted), sling and swivels, four boxes of ammunition at about $20 per box and the burdensome Washington sales tax. At that time, a box of 20 30.06 loads was about $7. I very quickly figured out that the price difference per box was of no importance to me. The only difference that I could find to apply to me was that the Weatherby load would require more of a slower powder. A few days later I bought a $10 Lee Loader kit for .300 Weatherby, some 180 grain spitzers, and some DuPont IMR 4831. I have never bought a factory load for it since. A fortnight or so ago, I was looking for some trap loads and happened to see upon a shelf a box of non-Weatherby brand .300 Weatherby factory loads. The price was $120 (!). You could save the children's milk money and spend it for the children''s milk if you would just get into handloading. Just do not ask me where you are going to get the magnum grade large rifle primers in these modern times. I have not a clue.

I was just looking at buying one went with 300prc

The filing on the scope rail isn’t bad it’s an older method that was used by gunsmith when setting a scope up that was not setting right in the rails because of size issues it won’t effect accuracy as long as the rails are any somewhat decent I would run them my rifle has a modified rail and after 600 rounds still holds zero

That thing is amazing, I wanna get an ironsight rifle. Maybe an M1A

I’m in my 60’s WhoTee and like heavy recoil less every year. My life has been simplified by going to a 6.5 boolot for everything! I’ve a 6.5Grendel AR , a .260 Remington( Creedmoor’s ballistic template), and a 6.5 PRC. If you haven’t yet, a 6.5 PRC will be your “new favorite” for a long time! Got mine in a Mossberg for Lee’s than $500. It has low recoil( less than 30.06) and is a long range killer. Load you some 150gr ABLR to 3050fps and reach out to 1000yrds with deer killing energy! Jus’ sayin’!

.300 RUM is my favorite rifle for the wood and the brush here in the States. The high FPS with 180's send shockwaves to the vitals, so even if you don't hit the heart when you're hitting lung broadsides, you still shock the heart and those deer and elk don't move far after being hit. I use my .30-06 for anything within 100 yards and my .300 RUM for anything out to 300 yards.

Have a buddy that deer hunts with a 300 RUM. He learned very quickly that you take neck shots with it. A shoulder hold at Kentucky distances makes them look like they were shot with a varmint rifle.

Had aperture sights on a Sako Finbear once. Wonder if any one else loved those sights. Your video's are down to earth and relaxing to watch. Thanks.

Glad it was you pulling the trigger & not me. Brutal just watching the recoil. Person might develope a flinch. Right hand twist in rifling may have sent second group to right. Break out the Hempvana for shoulder. Ouch

WTW with groups like that from iron sights I don't think you need a scope!!!! That's awesome shooting. One thing Savage is renowned for is accuracy! Thanks for sharing!

Nice. Great groups for open sights.

My XBolt 300 win mag gave me the biggest hickie on my shoulder but I loved it iron sights are a lost art nowadays 👍🔥🦅

Outer Impact makes a darn good rail, I've got one topping my Bergara B14 HMR 300WM.

Someone may have already suggested this, but for a handloader, (if legal in your jurisdiction), load some old AP projectiles from the M1 Garand and stuff the full measure of 300 RUM powder for a mobile anti-body armor rig.

It's almost pumpkin season so let's see some pumpkins cored.

Awesome video bro. I love the Accubond Bullets. I load 160gr. I’m my 7x57mm Ruger.

They do have a sharp kick

Thats a wonderful round. And another fun video

I do love my 300rum it is an elk stopper, mine love 210gr. I have a friend that loves the 165ers, and it s flat. I have seen elk get knocked over at many many fars. A brake is very very helpful.

I really like that savage. I own several Savage's in many calibers. I have two rum's one in .300 and the other is .375 both on remington 700 magnum actions. Alot of people say they do not like muzzle brakes, both of my rum's wear one. Once you reach a certain threshold muzzle brakes become almost necessary. I weigh 250# and both .300 and .375 rum are incredibly jolting without the brake's on. Thanks for the video!!! P.S. the .375 rum is a 👹 monster and is very unpleasant without a muzzle brake, even with the brake I have never had someone shoot mine more than once, tis a man killer 🤣!!!

I really really really like that rifle. I have been one always like bigger caliber guns. I’m not able to do much hunting any more. But I have the Memories of my past it’s been over 65 + years. I have sold most of my rifles and shotguns. I still have a few left that I plan to keep along with my pistols. I really love watching all of your videos. God bless you and your family 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

nice rifle. i like iron sights but old eyes makes it hard to see with them. Thank you for the video.

Beautiful rifle, who too. Likes those Barnes boolots. You need a good pair of binoculars and a spotting scope... 😊

Did anyone notice the bee land on his shoulder? He got out of town in hurry when that round went off.🤣

Second most obnoxious report on a rifle at the range for me was a .300 RUM with a brake. The most obnoxious by a large margin was a 338-378 Weatherby. 50 bmg is pleasant by comparison, at least it's a nice throaty boom.

Lol buddy Yup the 300 rum got a little spice on her but that's what makes it so special to shoot. Great shooting

I'll be getting a Remington 700 Long Range in that beast of a round shortly :)

Cheaper iron sights that's badass! Like I said I had trouble keeping scopes on mine but then that was over 20 years ago or better! The new equipment out now should be a lot better!! I still think you could be a thousand yard shooter! Two negative things I found in 300 rum it's so darn expensive! And number two it'll kick your butt from here to Sunday! But she's a keeper don't ever sell it! I regret selling mine

Very nice shooting with iron sights.

It really looks like a rifle that "Pondoro" Taylor or Finn Aagard would take on a safari. Also reminds me of the Winchester model 70. Great group for iron sights!

300rum the rifle you need when elephants are your choice of game

WTW !!! LOVE ALL GUNS , BUT ALWAYS LOVED A BEAUTIFUL WOOD GRAINED STOCK, ALWAYS 1 OF A KIND !! GOD BLESS YA BROTHER

Hey good for iron sights. Darrell

That’s actually a nice looking Savage!!!

this guy sounds like he is about to sell me propane and propane accessories and I am here for it

Good shooting, WTW. I shoot 45-70 when I wanna get kicked by a mule; too set in my ways to switch to 300 RUM.

Pachmeyer declaratory pad, does wonders, If you reload. Find a powder with the least amount of pressure and the speed and accuracy you want. Adapt the ammo to your needs and gun. I've been reloading for 23 years nows. I've concured the 300 win mag and 300 wsm. Deer don't know how fast the bullet is that hit them.

The !!!POWwww!!! must be insane with 300 RUM.

I shot a wtd at about 250 yards with mine many years ago , hit it right in the heart, when I walked you to it it’s eyes were pertruding alittle out of the sockets and bleeding out of its tear ducts. Hydro-static shock is not a myth with the 300 rum . I was using 150gr Remington sirrocco bullets . I seen that calibre do absolutely insane things ! And those bullets are the best I ever used .

Nice job with open sights and vicious recoil.

The 270 Win. Works just fine out here in Utah with high elevations and long shots if needed hand loaded Barnes TTSK 130 gr. 53.8 gr. Of H 4350 on Deer and Elk!

I'm old. I don't hunt anymore. When I did I found iron sights preferably to scopes inside 100 yards. Much better for moving targets

Beautiful rifle! I'm not much of a scope guy unless I'm shooting more than 500 yards, so I really like iron sights. I'm not a hunter, so I only shoot steel and paper.

I can hear the lands and groves crying from here.

I shoot a Browning XBolt 300 Rum w/5x25 Leopold. The only thing I shoot is Hornady Precision Hunter 220 gr. With a bipod it consistently gives me 6inch groups at 500yds. The recoil with a brake isn't bad. However, the sound concussion will rattle your teeth after a few shots.

That’s some pretty ammo! You know you dealing with an expensive round when the box opens from the top.

Yes sir that thing kills on both ends!!! Good luck with explaining the black eye to the wifey!!!

I appreciate you dropping the bag for these ammo videos 🙌🏾💰

1:31 Dear god he can’t be stopped.

I remember reading from one review writer that the 300 rum in a lightweight setup kicks like a Demonic mule, made me laugh big time lol cheers rob

If Hank Hill traded in all his propane and propane accessories for guns and gun accessories! WHO_TEE_WHO is King of the Hill!

Excellent shooting and consistent groups with irons.

When you buy that scope make sure you buy some butterfly bandaids to hold your skin together until you can get the stitches 🤕 It took nine to close mine up lol.

Good shooting, ready for squirrel hunting

Oh yea this is going to be a good one

Very interesting pattern there, 3 Barnes center, 3 Fed right off center and lower. I think I would test another 3 rounds another day and see what happens? Heck at $5 a round I'd order a Lee hand loader and start hand loading to feed that puppy.

Yep they kick HARD! If I remember correctly, this round was based on the 404 Jeffrey case, because of its massive powder capacity, and necked down to 30 caliber. It’s a THUMPER.

Vertical stringing generally means a bedding problem. Glass bed it and free float the barrel.

One of the federal looked like it was tumbling center or second shot, possibly to light of a bullet. I wonder what a 220gr bullet in hand load would do, to much for deer unless you smack the ribs out you are going to loose shoulder meat

That's a sweet gun buddy , I love mine . Sucks they are so expensive to shoot , I thought 20 bucks a box back In 2000 was expensive, I should have bought a bunch back then lol

I bought a 300 rum put a muzzle brake on it and my 9 year old shoots it just fine. Also picked up 5 boxes of Norma ammo in the 180 bond strike for $62 per box online.

I shoot a Remington 700 Sendero in 300 RUM with out a brake, also don't use a lead sled. It definitely kicks. After 5 years, I now need a shoulder replacement.

Fellers and fellettes!!! 6:40 🤣🤣🤣

Shooting well with iron sights. The RUM is a beast. I hunt with a lad that has one. Heck of a cartridge.

Beautiful piece of artillery 😄👌🏻

Never figured the 300rum but I did fire my friends 338rum. All I can say is you are definitely not expecting the recoil they produce. Great video

The TTSX are awesome

Kicking Boots Mates Great shooting, regards Trevor.W.Bacelli. Biloela, Qld Australia.

You are the king of calibers I have never heard of. Oh wait, Remington Ultra Mag. Hmm, yep never heard of it lol. Nice gun, and man it packs a punch!

Nice group

Yes 🐴💥... it is half the fun.

"Bring the thunder". Yeah baby! Lord I love that rifle!

Those barnes are my go to for hunting

Picked up the savage axis 6.5 creedmore today. Waiting for the scope base. It’s nice. I’ll probably put a Boyd’s stock on it also. I put one on the 7mm-08 already. With Leupold VX-6

Next tests for the 300 RUM---Clay blocks,paper plate stacks,water filled plastic jugs!Both of the loads you have should blow them up pretty good!And-the ballistic gel blocks!!Stack em up!!Bet in the tests the Barnes bullets would give the best penetration.

I don't have one of those but have a Mossberg 835 ulti mag that'll jar my teeth with 3&1/2 inch buckshot. Lol

If your gonna use a scope you should take the front site off and try a witt clamp on muzzle brake it will tame that recoil down to feel like a 223 i have one on mine and love it

If you mounted a 50 pound scope on that rifle it wouldn't kick quite so hard. I flinched just watching you.

I have a 1898 30-40 krag with iron sights, fun to shoot but I only have a few bullets left and a small crack in the stock so I don't shoot it anymore. You should look for one.. the steel butt plate is the best....

Dang son 200 for two boxes ?? Federal needs to hook our boy up with a sponsorship!!!
