[QUOTE="ZSteinle, post: 712023, member: 10411"] I would say stick with the win mag. The difference in performance between the two is negligible in my opinion but the difference in the amount of powder burnt burnt and felt recoil is substantially higher. If you handload the win mag looks even better. QL states a long throated 300 win mag loaded with a 240SMK (which i know isnt a hunting bullet but just using it because it weighs a ton) with a 26" barrel and 78 gr. of retumbo will have a muzzle velocity of 2780FPS and max pressure of 60,620 psi. 300 ultra with same bullet also with a long throat to keep things fair will push the 240 SMK with again a 26" barrel and 98 grains of H50BMG will have a muzzle velocity of 2821 fps and pressure of 65,396psi. Which dosent seem correct to me at all (unless i am doing something wrong here the 300 win mag seems like the clear winner.) In my opinion i think the 300 ultra is just too much case to be taken advantage of in a hunting weight rifle. [/QUOTE]
