...........Your 1st choice in cartridge should depend on what game you are hunting at the time.

Imo, and since you already own a 30-06, I see little benefit in acquiring a 300 Win.

Simple solution if it were me given the rounds you mention;

For big bears and moose, either the 375 Ruger or H&H as the 1st choice.

Sheep and goats, the 30-06 as the 1st choice.


I agree. Again, for the life of me I don't know why whenever a guy wants a medium bore and owns a 30-06, people try to talk him out of getting a 338 and into a 300. You will always want and be curious about the 375 so why not fuel the hunger and get a 338 or 340. grin

I am kinda partial to the 375 wby now.



30-06
338 win mag
375 H&H

I don't see the 300 mag of any sort in that list..... wink
