99.9 percent of the hunters cannot take advantage of cartridge capabilities of 800 yards or more. The 300 Win Mag provides about at much useful range as most hunters can use. I would never get my monies worth out of one because I won't shoot over 400 yards and very seldom would I even shoot at animals past 300 yards. Just to much chance of a poor hit and a lost animal. Its good food for the Rambo's though. Thats just My opinion so nobody needs to climb down my throat. I have been at it to long to change my views.
