Is 300 RCM worth investing in?

Inherited a Ruger Hawkeye 300 RCM. Is 300 RCM worth investing in for reloading?

Great cartridge 179 ELD-X at 2900 FPS.

You are not going to be able to get brass and ammo forever, Hornady only has one factory load.

I would lay in as much brass and a set of dies as you can get. Barrel ought to be worth 800-1500 rounds. 200 pieces of brass should get you through a barrel.

Nothing wrong writh the cartridge. Just a matter of feeding it.

Ok thanks for the info. I have 80 rounds now so a few more boxes and a set of dies should do me fine. I doubt I will ever put 800 rounds through it.

Yea 140 pieces of brass would get you through 400-600 firings without a hitch.

I was able to form .338 RCM from 6.5 PRC brass.

I would assume you could do the same for 300 RCM.

I had forgot about that. Yes!
