[QUOTE="pondskipper, post: 1119231, member: 26430"] This much is true, I wonder how old that video is. Never the less, adding a heavier bullet to the 300rum will further increase its recoil and barrel erosion though the range is increased as well. The main point to me sharing that wasn't nesecarily to prove that it was superior to anything on that list, they all have their place, it was simply to show its capability against others, including magnums, and I can't help but think it would give the best bang for your buck (no pun intended) good barrel life, great ballistics in comparison to a great deal of cartridges out there, and enough retained energy to kill whitetail at around 1000 yards, I think 800ftlbs or better is recommended, of course the whitetail in my area usually don't get much larger than 150lbs. I still don't understand why you don't see people using them more, both competitively, law enforcement, and military. You would think the military especially would have taken notice given the fact that all their bolt action rifles would readily accept it with a barrel swap, they wouldn't loose much in the way of barrel life if any, and their range would be increased to that of some magnum offerings without an increase in recoil to the shooter, or weight of their system, or decrease in ammo capacity.
