Questions on the 300
 

Alright I was looking into 300 caliber rifles. Could somebody explain the differences between them all. I've seen the

1. 300
2. 300 Short action Mag.
3. 300 Ultra Mag
4. 300 H&H
5. 300 Weatherby
6. 300 Win
7. 300 WSM

Maybe I'm missing some too, i'm not sure. I know what some of them are, but i'm not sure how they compare to each other. Thanks for the help.

There are a few in the middle that may be out a place or two depending on loadings.All use 308" bullets but vary in case dimensions and powder capacities.

Nice list, Stubblejumper.

340

These "300's" are all .30 caliber rifles, firing .308" diameter bullets. The difference between them is the size of the cartridge case, hence the amount of powder, with which each is loaded. The more powder, the faster a bullet of a given weight travels.

Keep yore powder dry!!

Lets not forget about Lazzeroni's monster 7.82 Warbird that sizzles at 3550fps with a 180gr. Largest .30 caliber out there!!

Why work when you can hunt???? Heck why work at all!!
