[QUOTE="rhouser, post: 1490259, member: 18752"] 308 Win VS 300 Norma Magnum discussion: Guess it depends on what one means by hunting. Is your hunting at 50 yards in the pine thickets or aspen groves? Will your shot be taken at 700 yards across a valley? To me because this is a Long Range Hunting forum and I would probably think I would run into folks that consider a 308 to be a little light for some things. A 30-06 kills well but still won't/can't compete with the heavy weights for energy on target at the 600 yard + distances. To the OP, I would have considered the 300 Norma when I bought my RUM, but, it didn't exist. It seems to be a great round and I know some long range shooters who really swear by it. my 2 cents v/r rch [/QUOTE]
