I think the latter has the advantage of easy availability of rounds and cases. The short magnums are said to be very accurate, but so is my Ruger M77 .300 Win Mag. Its only disadvantage is the round's short neck, which may not get a good grip on the bullet.

Bought tons of brass and bullets for reloading years back. See brass on occasion at gun shows and the sporting goods store in town, ammo is available up here too.

Told him if he goes 50/50 and lets me hold on to the rifle I'll load him some up. I have ruger, they only chambered that rifle a couple of years She is light and what some would call a mountain rifle The trigger is crisp and maybe 3 pounds Pleasant to shoot but it ain't a 243

It's shootable but you better have a hold of it especially off a bench. Not sure I'd like to shoot it prone very much. That's shooting 200 grain bullets. Not sure if 150s or 160s would calm it done any. Fact I wouldn't hunt with it unless I really felt I needed that much energy to ethically do the job. Much rather shot the 7mm rem mag for longer range practice. But it does have a brake to calm it some. Last edited by Yes sir; 08/09/23 03:33 PM.

I can usually shoot twenty or so rounds of the .300 before beginning to flinch, but I can only shoot three accurate shots from my .416 Rem Mag. I hate muzzle brakes. Some rifles come with them now, but I won't use them. Jim Forum Infidel since 2001 "And that troll bs is something triggered snowflakes say when they dont like what someone posts." - Boco

Don’t get me wrong, I love both guns, and enjoy shooting them both. Some guys like to stick with one gun in the safe. I enjoy buying new guns, and working up loads for them. Most would say I have too many, but I still don’t have enough
