[QUOTE="diriel, post: 805274, member: 26983"] One thing I rarely see mentioned is Recoil induced Flinch due to "Magnum Bite". One reason to go 308 Win. is the substantially reduced recoil. In order to get good at LR shooting you need to Practice, Practice and Practice some more.... a 300 Win Mag can quickly take a toll in this type of scenario. I do not know all that many people who can honestly go out and shoot 60+ rounds of 300 WM. without having to fight Shooter Fatigue // Flinch. Another reason for the 308 is how much quality information is out there on extended range shooting with it. Ammo can be purchased that is *VERY* high quality match, and reloading for it is about as easy as it gets... I used to own a 300WM, my brother in law wanted it worse than me and hit my greedy spot :) I still reload for it of course. [/QUOTE]
