[QUOTE="porkchop401, post: 803480, member: 29195"] I think a 300 win mag is a great cal for hunting out to a thousand and further target practicing . Numbers are what we tend to focus on these days fps, ftlbs, bc, ect. After owning a 300wm in a ruger action that was a nice rifle that just fell short in the accuracy department I decided to have a rifle built on a m700 and decided on a 338 rum. After a brief handload development I rezeroed at 200 and headed to the range with 300 gr elite hunters loaded. After waiting for a few to shoot, I settled on my mat , I was intending to shoot the 500yd target but after a little crap from my shooting buddies I decided hurl one at the 1055yd target . I was estimating my velosity at 2775, any how long storie short I knocked the target over and this is a fixed target that has been pounded on various other calibers before and never been knocked over before . My point is sometimes bigger is better , just like a more blood will pour through a bigger hole. with that being said , if I had to replace the 338rum I am not sure it would be another, more likley a 300 rum or a 8mm rem or even 300 win.
