[QUOTE="jridgestalker, post: 1630385, member: 109802"] One thing I love about the internet is the ability to research and evaluate tons of information and opinions. Notice I didnt say blindly follow others research and opinions. I just bought my first 300 win mag this month and here is why..... First, it is time tested. This cartridge has been vetted and it's a known quantity. Flat shooting and hard hitting. Second, it's available. You can get cartridges and components in most places. Third, versatility. This cartridge has a wide range of bullet types and weights available for it. It easy to reload for and there is tons data availabe Drawbacks, or should I say points of discussion.... it is designed from an old case that headspaces off a belt (even though the 300 win mag does not), the neck is shorter than most, it burns powder, has stout recoil. Honestly, this cartridge has been "improved" and redesigned so many times that you have oter .30 cal magnum options that will address your concerns. It's really like buying an older cj5 vs a new jeep. Yes some of the old problems are no longer there, but both will get you there, one is alot easier to work on and has proven reliable in every weather. But....the new one is more comfy, has a better stereo and handles a bit better. My opinion, buy a new rifle in one of the newer 30 cal magnums, compare and contrast our old 300 win mag, and report back to us! [/QUOTE]
