    I've been using the 300 WM for 48 years and it's wonderful. It is the hammer of Thor on big game. From Sierra 110 HP to 210 Berger VLD's it shoots great. 180 grainers are the preferred big game bullet. Thanks for your testing.

    I had a few 300 Magnums and .30-06s. I’m a 7mm magnum guy now. It’s enough for pretty much anything the recoil is a lot milder than the 300 and more powerful than the ‘06. Less recoil means you shoot more accurately.

    Excellent comparison. I am a big 7 Rem Mag proponent. The 300 is definitely more powerful. But I have owned a few 7s. They are a good step up from the /06 level offerings. I haven't used them on elk yet but I have harvested deer at under 150 yards with moderate loadings with 162s @ mid 2800s. My daughter used a 300 WM on elk at 300 a few years ago. Both are great with the right loading and bullet for anything in North America. Nice rigs there. Thank you Sir.

    I kinda goofed a few years ago. I could have bought .300 Win. Mag. Federal Power Shok ammo for about $17-18 a box. I think I saw some 7mm Rem. Mag about the same time for similar pricing. I just never thought I would own either. I was more smitten and impressed by .338 Win. Mag. Still am. As it is now, I am even less likely than before to own any mags. Lesser cartridges will do all I need to get done much cheaper. Edit: You guys up in the last frontier have the greatest justification for stuff beyond .30-06 class cartridges.

    • @AlaskanBallistics

      If you're truly worried about an SHTF scenario, A .300 win mag with FMJ ammo is an incredible Barrier penetrator ammunition. Radiators, steel body armor etc... won't stand up to it. You need a .300 win mag. Get one of the great lakes rifles.

    Chuck, Good test ! I like both calibers and both these rounds. The apple to apple comparison would be with a 200 grain bullet in the 300. I know 180 is very popular but the 200 penetrates deeper and drops game very efficiently. I'd also try 220 grains out of curiosity. They're both hard to find on shelves but worth the effort !
    Thank you much for taking the time to do these interesting tests !

    Hey Chuck, hope you are doing well. Not sure if you remember but I had plans to do a bottom metal conversion on my savage 11 scout. I’ve had an accurate mag bottom metal conversion kit sitting in the box since 2020. I finally grabbed a top sear from gun shack. Seems just recently savage target sears and target accutriggers are available. I just grabbed the sear. It was literally a part swap. I did have to fit it to the savage stock using a dremel. The bolts that came with the bottom metal kit are too long so I chopped them to size with the dremel cut off wheel. Every thing is working perfectly. I only tested function with dummy rounds but hope to get to the range soon. I’m not the best at dremeling but I think it turned out great!
    I forgot your email address but I can send you a link to the website. They show temporary out of stock. I’m grabbing a spare as soon as they are available again.

    For a more even comparison, the 300WM would need a 206 grain bullet to compare to 175 RemMag, or the 7 RemMag would use a 150 grain bullet to compare to the 180 grain
    300WinMag.
    Bigger diameter generally makes a bigger initial wound. If I was going to be within 50 yards of a Bruin, give me the broader wound and the lighter quicker rifle. Would likely be using a bonded or monolthic bullet though.

      @AlaskanBallistics  2 місяці тому +2

    Thanks for the video was good. My vote would be for the 7MM Mag, no animal will know the difference when using comparable bullets (sectional densities) between .308 and .284 diameters as they are too close. Would be looking at jumping from .284 to the .338 magnum if looking for frontal area appreciable difference on animals.
