What's your favorite .300 Magnum?

What's your favorite .300 Magnum?
What's your favorite/the best .300 Magnum?
Sorry, have to pick a magnum, no .30-06 or .308, etc...
Which do you think will still be popular in 20 years? which will fail?
I was surprised to learn the .30-378wby passed the 300wby for their #1 seller. (in ammo sales)

Out of the ones that you listed I would probably choose the .300 win mag. It's my understanding that on paper a lot of these calibers look similar, but the newer calibers are loaded to maximum pressures, whereas the win mag is an older cartridge that is kept to lower pressures in factory loads. If you reload and you have a new gun, there is room for improvement with this round. I know that it would be a different situation if I lived in a place where long shots are the norm, I'd have to make a point of practicing at long range. I've never had to worry about long shots and I know that I have no business shooting beyond 200 yards. Personally, if I needed a cartridge with more energy than my 30-06, I'd get a larger diameter cartridge.

I voted for the 300 ultra mag because of the ballistics. However, I can't afford to shoot it anymore and I'm shooting a 30.06. I'm looking at getting a 300 win mag because the price of ammo is half the price of 300 ultra mag. What good is a rifle if you can't afford the ammo to shoot a bunch? That's why I am really enjoying shooting my 30.06.
I'll be glad when the economy gets back to where it was. If the economy doesn't come back, then I have a life time supply of 30.06, .243 and 20 gauge ammo.
