[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 635208, member: 5302"] That's exactly what long range competitors thought and did after the .300's big win at the Nationals. The .300 H&H was "the" round to use in 1000 yard matches as it pushed the same bullet out about 150 to 200 fps faster than the .30-06 did with the same peak pressure. And Sierra's 200 grain SBT hunting bullet and later its FMJBT match bullet were the favorites. Winchester Model 70's were offered in a 28" bull barrel target version chambered for that .300. Winchester made 20 or so custom receivers without the magazine cutout for the US Army Rifle Team; that receiver with a totally solid bottom was one of the stiffest ever made for centerfire cartridges. That H&H case reigned at long range until Fred Huntington (RCBS founder) came up with the .30-.338 in 1958. The .308 Norma Magnum debued in 1960 is virtually identical and was also a long range target favorite. Then the .300 Win. Mag. joined this top accuracy club in 1963. [/QUOTE]
