The three levels of loading that Remington has come out with for the RUM is an intersting idea. However, a handloader can do that with any cartridge. My view is that for North American game the 300 RUM is too big, and in fact quite a bit too big (bore and case size). To me the sweet spot for bore size is in the 6.5-7mm range. Within that bore pick your punishment based on the case size. While an oddball of sorts, the 280 Remington is perhaps close to the ideal.
But then I don't believe in rifles with a big hole in the end of the barrel. If that was a good thing, I would just buy slugs for my 12 guage.
