Frequently Asked Questions
What game is the 300 RSAUM 165-grain PSP best suited for?
The 165-grain PSP load is an excellent all-around big-game hunting round, ideally suited for whitetail and mule deer, pronghorn, black bear, and elk at moderate ranges. The Pointed Soft Point bullet initiates reliable expansion at a broad range of impact velocities, making it effective from close-range shots in heavy cover out to longer shots in open country. For truly large or dangerous game like moose or brown bear, a heavier bullet weight may be preferred.
Is 300 RSAUM the same as 300 WSM or 300 Win Mag?
No — the 300 Remington Short Action Ultra Mag (300 RSAUM) is a distinct cartridge and is not interchangeable with 300 WSM (Winchester Short Magnum) or 300 Win Mag. While all three are .30-caliber magnum cartridges with similar performance goals, they have different case dimensions and headspace specifications. Always verify your rifle's exact chamber marking before purchasing ammunition, and never use a cartridge that does not match your rifle's stamped chambering.
Are the brass cases reloadable after firing?
Yes. Remington uses high-quality Boxer-primed brass cases in this ammunition, which are fully reloadable using standard reloading dies sized for the 300 RSAUM. Reloaders appreciate that the short, fat case design of the RSAUM family tends to offer excellent powder capacity and consistent neck tension. Inspect cases for signs of stretching or primer pocket enlargement before reloading, especially after high-pressure loads.
