I have no need for anything more powerful than my 7.62x51
300 Win mag fires the same bullet as .30-06, just a little faster, but you lose that velocity within the first 100 yards or so of bullet travel. Unless you shoot elk at long ranges, there's no real advantage to justify the expense, recoil, and noise of the magnum.
Blatantly ill informed and embarrassing cartridgelet cope.
Tell me where I'm wrong
1 look at wiki shows 30-06 100 yd balistics avweage of 2400ftlb my .300 winchad has 3500ftlb at 100 yds
You misunderstood me. 30-06 at the muzzle is about as fast as 300 Win Mag is at 100-150 yards. That's assuming the bullet is identical. Are you hunting a large animal at such a long range that .30-06 is not effective? Then the 300 magnum is for you. If not, it's a good way to turn money into noise.
.300 WM has around 20-30% more energy than .308 longfudd on all ranges. Is that enough to constitute a difference? I'd say so, especially when it matters. For elk, moose and bear, I'll take those extra ft lbs every day of the week. Blasting a white tail from a blind at 50 yards? Irrelevant.
By the way, that's with factory ammo, which is notorious for being mildly loaded in .300 WM. It gives you around 26gr more case capacity which allows you to bubba it to pissing hot loads.
>just without as much muzzle velocity.
That's a huge downside. .308 longfudd suffers from substantially more wind drift and I hope I don't have to start explaining the many benefits of a flat shooting cartridge over one that has rainbow trajectory. By the way, I have never seen, met or heard of a fudd loading their .308 longfudd with anything heaver than 180gr. It'll "blow dem deer apart", you see.
>energy meaning anything for wounding
The absolute state of nu/k/
It does nothing for me that anything from .223 to .308 won't while costing more and recoiling more.
>inb4 energy or drop
I don't give a fuck, I can twist a turret and I'm not shooting at a range the trajectory is a factor yet.
to be fair, I don't think old PrepHole talked about much else either.

Christ alive
>300 winmag can shoot 165 to 220 grains with sub-moa accuracy with ease
.30-06 can shoot all of those too, just without as much muzzle velocity.
I will 308, 30 06 , 300wm because they are
300 winmag flies flatter then a 30 06 or a 308 of the equivelant bulletweight making long range shots easier,
that effect is more pronounced in heavier bulletweights
that is the reason some sniper rifles (namely the unicorn that is the walter wa2000 but a fiew other notable ones like: DSR, AWM, BLASER 93 ) were chambered in it. 300 winmag is FAR from the most proliffic or only sniper cartrige used though
300 wm Has more energy but a 308 is sufficient for most tasks at most ranges so unless hunting something very very big , mostly irrelevant
308 fits in a short action
300 win and 30 06 require a long action making guns longer or necesetating taking your face of the stock to cycle the bolt.
One might ask why not use a more powerfull round when you already have to use a long action.
>The answer is: im not minmaxing
>harsh recoil? sure it kicks more then 30 06 but if you hold the gun properly and you wont get a bo bo, if you still do get a rubber butt(plug)pad.
The flat trajectory justifies such recoil , 300 winmag guns are slightly more portable then other magnums(require less barrel material making them lighter)
There is a strange inrange tv 308 SVD and a WA200 in 300 winmag comparison, a timed test shooting 100, 200 and 300 yards( i think) if you are interested,
30 06 stands inbetween the 308 an 300 winmag . leaning more thorwards the 308 side of performance. So much so that thwere is very little difference up to 300 yards between the two in point of impact, after that point 30 06 holds a slight edge. So you might be able to extrapolate 30 06 vs 300 wm difference
300 is an option ,some people find it usefull, interesting, capable but pick what you will, all 30 ish and 30+ caliber full size cartriges will do just fine unless you have a very specific task in mind
It was supposed to be i will discuss 308 30 06 300wm because they are usually compared. Fuck me and fuck my autistic 2000 word essays .
>Tldr, 30 cals exist on a spectrum like this board
For me, it's .300 PRC.

Hopefully one day I can go beyond 30-06

>still shooting 300 fudd mag
at this point the round is so old that they're going to have to replace the belt with suspenders. 300 prc is the new hotness.
>replace the belt with suspenders
That wound arguably make it even Chadder.
Do threehunnid BBC shills really?
My man I live in Missouri, there aint jack here .308 won't kill.
it's about the distance of the kill, not the power within 100 yards. Yes, you can kill anything there with a .308, but can you kill anything there out to 1k yards? With a 300WM and a good scope, the answer is yes, even a little girl can with training.
If you want to survive the collapse, you either need a rapid-fire that you can sustain in CQC mob zerg rushes or a way to keep the mob off with stand-off power. Ideally, both.
I was looking at the 300 PRC, tbh. But the rounds are stupidly expensive right now. I couldn't justify not buying a 50 cal if the ammo is about the same.
>even a little girl can with training
if you put her on anything other than an 18 pound bench gun she'll never carry in the woods, its guaranteed to give her a flinch she has to train out of.
Idk, with a muzzle break and solid butt-pad, fired off a tripod. I don't think my kid has much longer to go before I let her try it. I have a light 308 with a shit butt-pad, and she hits steel with that.
Not a fan of braking .300 WM. It just doesn't need it and is far too concussive for hunting. A suppressor is a far, far superior option.
Cucked countries like mine (canada) are not allowed suppressors. Either way brakes aren't needed for hunting...hell, neither are clips. You should only need one good shot and then the real work begins.
>If you want to survive the collapse
anon im really sorry to ruin your dreams but the collapse wont happen. things will just get ever so slightly worse and everyone will still be too comfortable to do anything to change things.
you will never get to kill people without legal recourse.
>you will never get to kill people without legal recourse.
Thanks a lot. Who pissed in your cheerios.
That's fine, autogynephilic. chuds aren't people and they have a 41% chance of doing it for me.
.338 lapua mogs it
300 norma magnum for me. If not that it's .308win

I was thinking about it but then remembered I’m broke.
I'd rather just shoot vitals than have to rely on blowing the shoulder out so you can have a chance at tracking it.
300wm vaporizes vitals, yeah you lose a shoulder but there's not any tracking involved if your shot is good
Can you 300 WM cucks please stop wasting 308 bullets? The real 308 chad needs them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.30-378_Weatherby_Magnum
>the REAL chad
>wikipedia article because he doesn't own guns and gets all his knowledge from there
Really showed those .300 WinChad bullies.
My reason is simple. I am poor.
I don’t want one. Simple.
>2023
>using a belted case that doesn't even use the belt for headspacing
Nugga wut?
Do retards really get outdated 300WM over 300 WSM?
people like to talk about hypotheticals involving gear in large igloos but i hardly ever see a scoped bolt action mentioned. a 300 win mag with a dialed in 16x or 20x scope is a powerful asset.
>that guy who stans a gun/cartridge but doesn't actually own it
>vs. the noguns mall ninja that shits on it but doesn't actually own it
so where do I look to find 300 belt fudd that isn't getting mogged by 300 prc?
