Half the recoil. Twice the Confidence.For years, shooters have wished for and hand-loaders have attempted to create a lower recoil load – usually by simply reducing the amount of gunpowder. The results did create less kick, but at the expense of bullet expansion and on-game performance. For many years, the gap between low recoil and effective hunting performance seemed an insurmountable one. That is, until now.New Managed-Recoil Centerfire Ammunition delivers the trusted Remington® field proven hunting performance out to 200 yards with half the recoil. How? Through a specialized new bullet that was developed specifically to perform at these cartridge’s velocity levels. These bullets are optimized to provide 2x expansion with over 75% weight retention on shots inside of 50 yards and out to 200 yards. The end result is a high performance bullet optimized to provide the on-game results you've come to expect from Remington Ammunition with just half the felt recoil. Managed recoil cartridges provide effective performance, with less than 1/2 the recoil. The result is quicker scope recovery, better shot placement, and less anticipation of recoil.

The 300 Remington Ultra Mag (RUM) was introduced in 1999. It is based on the 404 Jeffery case necked down, and is a full-length magnum (2.85-inch case), meaning that it requires a 375 H&H-length action to house it. The fat, unbelted case has a rebated rim of .534-inch, base diameter of .550-inch, and headspaces on the shoulder, considered more precise and thus more conducive to accuracy than belt headspacing (as belted magnums do). The 300 RUM has greater case capacity than the 300 Weatherby Magnum, thus is potentially faster. Remington's factory loads feature 150-grain bullets at 3450 feet per second, 180-grain bullets at 3250, and a 200-grain Swift A-Frame at 3025. Remington remains the primary source for factory ammunition and production rifles, but due to its accuracy and velocity the 300 RUM is becoming popular among long-range shooters and serious mountain hunters, and is chambered to an increasing number of custom and semi-custom rifles. — Craig Boddington
