    friend bought a 300 win, i bought a 7mm rem mag.
    side by side the power and accuracy is about the same, the 7mm is far flatter

    Of course you need it
    Need, want, desire, must have. They all mean exactly the same thing in our game.

    A friend just bought a hells canyon in this, soft recoil, excellent trigger, only thing that i thought let it down was the plastic rotary mag. Its got me thinking could i use one too.
    I also know someone who had a t3 in 308 reamed to 300 win mag it ended up in a sporter stock to tame the recoil.

    7mm rem ultra mag is the one for that, also most "short magnums" suffer throat erosion more than a porn star

    the hells canyon long range is what i really want but i will have to wait and save for that and that is no fun
