RE: Anybody download a 300 Win mag to 308 or 30-06 levels?
I have never tried it with my 300, but have always heard that magnums need to be stoked to preform to their potencial. The lightest load in any of my books still shows 51000CUP with a 150gr Win pt sp bullit and 76gr of Win 785 powder shooting 3150fps wich is still above 30-06felt recoil, you could just make the rifle hevier to reduce the felt recoil. My father-in-law has aSako 300 Wmag that weighs about 8.5lbs, the one I built based off a Mauser action weighs in at 13.7lbs, we both agree that mine is much more pleasent to shoot, you can accualy shoot mine with one hand with it laying on the shooting bench.
