[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 670711, member: 5302"] The .300 Win. Mag.'s probably the best choice. Especially if you don't reload. Having recently been made privy to some intersting tests conducted by military snipers and other long range experts evaluating different rounds for US military use, the .300 Win. Mag. outshot the .338 Lapua Mag in the accuracy tests at all ranges through 1500 yards. Note that accuracy with shoulder fired rifles drops off as recoil increases. It's the recoil while the bullet's going down the barrel that moves the rifle a bit off its point of aim when the firing pin strikes the primer that degrades accuracy. Recoil after the bullet's left doesn't matter. Which is why milder recoiling rifles are easier to shoot accurately when held by us humans. And this is one of the main reasons why the .300 Win. Mag. out performed the .338's in those tests. [/QUOTE]
