Thread: 300 win mag or 7mm Rem mag

Fast flat trajectory for the 7mm and 162 AMAX excellent at distance. I use Barnes 140 ttsx for the close stuff hits like a hammer the AMAX is a lot more frangible and accurate you use them accordingly to their characteristics. ( with a similar POI) makes things super easy and manageable. A suppressor helps accuracy also being more manageable also.
Second rifle is 223 for practice ( similar trajectory and cheap rounds like hornady sp 55's ) also good for the fallow.

My mate Grant has a 300 win mag and we went to the range and he cooked off thirty or rounds said from about 25 shots onwards said it was like getting his shoulder dropped on concrete each shot and accuracy was similarly affected. He's bought a 6.5 x55 swede now for his target stuff and is much happier the 300 is his fave tho so it's horses for courses but get something you will use and be comfortable with.

With the tikka t3 the barrels are a bit light and are like hot frying pans after 3 shots so if shooting rounds at the range you need to allow to cool or get a rifle with a heavier contour barrel. Supressors speed up the the heating process by the way. So yeah always a trade off...
