.300 Win Mag OR .338 Win Mag..???

[Danehunter]

Well... I have two .300 Win mag rifles, one for target and one for hunting. So I'd say .300 Win mag.

But... I'd REALLY like a .300 Norma mag for its somewhat superior ballistics and much less recoil than .300 RUM.

Put a 230 gr. Berger Hybrid Tactical bullet in either and you have great ballistics. Yep.
In fact the 230 gr. Berger in the .300 Norma mag. has the ballistics of a .338 Lapua mag., just not the energy.

But NATO and the US Army use the .300 Win. mag and it does fine for them.

I think you will be very pleased with your choice. The 300 wm is an outstanding cartridge.

If you are hunting elk either will do. 300 win has killed a lot of elk. I have owned both and still own a 338 in with a brake and it's very easy to shoot. I think whichever you are leaning toward will suit you well
