Thread: 300 win mag

I had one for a while, Tikka t3x. Shot well with factory ammo. Shot plenty of deer with it but got sick of the recoil. Plus with the several types of ammo I used in it it didn't appear to kill with any more authority than the .270 out to 650 yards or so which is my self imposed limit.

Bigger suppressor, longer barrel, extra boot. If you were definitely going to be shooting upwards of 650 semi regularly then having a magnum is beneficial but if not, personally I would re think it.

The reason some prefer 7mm mag over the .300 is you have a higher ballistic coefficient projectile for the weight of the projectile. A 162gr 7mm pill has a far higher bc than the equivalent 30 cal pill. So to get the same bc in 30 cal you have to have a heavier pill, hence why the 200 to 220gr in 30 cal are more popular with long range shooters. But the heavier pill driven fast equals more recoil.
