This is a big game cartridge and bullet designed for optimal terminal performance.
Some listed loads for the 300 RUM that you should approach with caution:
http://www.hodgdon.com/data/rifle/300rem.php

Shoot, only if necessary, at wounded big game that is running! Remember you are figuring your lead from heart/lung area! It is better to over lead than to under lead, miss clean or drop them in their tracks. Shooting at running big game animals is dangerous! Safety first! Check the background before you shoot, so you know what shots you can take!

If you can't put the bullet in the vital kill zone don't take the shot no matter how capable the cartridge you're using is at that range.

Wind drift: A 45-degree wind drift angle isn't half the drift of a 90º-angle, but is three-quarters the drift. It has a 70 to 75 percent effect, even though the angle is only halfway between no drift effect and full drift effect. The drift effect is not proportional, due to the aerodynamic ballistics of a bullet in flight. Just remember that halfway between full and zero effect is nearly three-quarters the drift of 90-degrees. Memorize these aerodynamic ballistic realities.
