I gotta add my 2 cents only because I LOVE any and all of the 300 magnums. I own 1 x 300 WSM, 5 x 300 WM, 3 x 300 Wby, 1 x 300 RUM, 1 x 30-378 Wby. I just haven't found a 300 H&H or 30 Ruger yet that I like enough to buy (gun configuration wise yet). No animal alive can tell the difference...

My vote... 257 Wby. Mild recoil. Very flat shooting... hits hard... ammo available everywhere... Love the cartridge as 300 yard shots with it feel like you can't miss IF you do your part. Have a 26 nosler but haven't fired it enough to see if all the hoopla is worth it on this cartridge.

But on a serious note... a friend used to shoot 110 grain bullets (can't remember what they were - might have actually been Hornady Interlocks) over max loads in his 300 Wby. Did those bullets ever get on target in one H3LL of a hurry!!!

Well... my 30-378 Wby with 165 grain moly coated Barnes bullets. I think I got it up around 3570 fps. If I recall my ballistics... at 370 yards it was going AS FAST as a 308 does when it exits the barrel. But the only thing that gun has shot is a BIG cow moose who was on the run at 30-35...

@Mark37082 You are an evil evil man for showing/listing that action. I don't need it... but I sure want it!!!!

The one thing I find rather funny is about being able to see where your shot hits through the scope. I will argue that it is not about the weight of the gun but more so about the stock design combined with a few other parameters. I'll give a few examples... you can watch the bullets hit (cross...

@VinceMule Yep... I agree totally. However, the Browning Mountain Ti's that I have are teaching me that it's not always the case and that's what got me thinking about it. Don't ask me what it is but the one in 7 WSM, you can fire all day and you swear the barrel isn't even warm. And it's...

I think that I have to respectfully disagree now... which is a change from years ago. I used to live by the "5 shot group" and I got very spoilt as a teenager as the first rifle I purchased (and still own) is a Remington 700 BDL in 300 Win Mag that consistently shot 5 shot - 1/2" groups with...

Lmao... just thinking back to one guy I know who shoots a really nice... expensive... semi custom made rifle. I don't think the paper he shoots at has ANYTHING to worry about.

I can't say for all the various manufacturers... but the local gunsmith here in Saskatoon told me one time that if it's a Remington with the serial numbers starting with A, B, C or D, that it took him half as much work to turn them into a good shooter then the guys with serial numbers after...

Friends daughter would KICK YOUR *** if she seen those words... lmao. She's one of those... anything a guy can do she can do. She went and bought a Remington 770 (those cheap cheap cheap pieces of schite) in 300 WM and she learnt to shoot it!!!! She's about 6'1" tall and similar build but she...

Oh come on... the internet would NEVER lie to us!!!!! It wouldn't... it couldn't... Of course... I'm up in Canada so our Prime Minister and politicians in general like to tell us what we can believe or not believe. So I will have to look and see if those videos were officially sanctioned or not.

I should clarify the above though... It's fun to TRY and hit targets (rocks) wayyyy out there. But I'm truly practicing the 450 yards and under range. The over 450 is the... let's see... its doable. The over 600 mark is the... lol. What heck... let's try it, there's still shells in the box...

Well... I KNOW that I can't that's for sure. BUT... it also amazes me the guys who can sit and shoot paper all day long. After a rifle is sighted in... sure a few more just to confirm... maybe shoot a grouping or two on a new gun if I haven't before for a load... but I'm BORED POOPLESS!!! My...

Could be worse... I got punted from the poor house to the dog house!!!
