Thanks to all of you for your input but I broke down and bought a Kimber 8400 Classic in .325WSM. I have shot and fondled some Kimber rifles and my business partner said get it....so I did. I have .338WM and it basically duplicates the ballistics in a package that weighs about 4 1/2lbs less.
The kicker was the wood this sweety sports....gorgeous.
Less than 200FPS difference between the 150gr .325WSM and the .300RUM. 68grs. of powder in the .325WSM vs. 106grs. of powder in the .300RUM to gain the difference. Smaller BC and SD in the .325 but the drop at 300 yds. is nothing, MPBR is about 30 yards difference. Plus a bigger hole with (hopefully) and exit wound is always a bonus.
Thanks to all for your wisdom and experience. I saved over $500 buying the Kimber vs. the Browning A-Bolt Titanium....and I am an FFL dealer...go figger.
