    30 cal magnum musings

    Sometime in a future who knows when, I am interested in turning my P14 308 (target barrel) into a 300 win mag.
    BUT I also know about the old 308 Norma magnum which is a decent performer in its own right and has some small advantages over the 300 winny
    Its a little shorter, has a longer neck, and is a tiny bit more efficient. Close enough to speed to be ok with me. Its close sibling/parent or even the 300 mag that should've been, the 30-338 has a slightly shorter neck to start with but apparently comes good after about 3 or so shots
    Then there is the old schooler in me which thinks the 300 H&H might be a nice thing. A little slower but is meant to be inherently accurate and with the long case taper feeds like the case isn't there. Plus to me its got some cool factor. One day after the lotto win it would be a nice companion to the dark continent with the 416 rem mag for a trip.
    Don't suggest the 300 wsm. Great cartridge and nothing wrong with it at all but the P14 is a long action and really deserves a long cartridge to go with it.
    For all of these reloading would be the go. All can be made from whatever comes from 375HH cases if availability is an issue, some require more steps depend on whats used. I think that's correct but I will stand corrected
    Its amazing what you think of when you have a bit of time on your hands.
    Thoughts?
