One is a super clean 300 win mag and the other a like new in the box 300 H&H. The H&H is awfully tempting..

Mr BSA, You will not understand the difference in the RAP of the 300 win mag VS the push of 300 H&H.
I shot one then the other and could not understand the real reason!The pollen is killing me down here today but maybe the 2" longer barrel of the H&H played a role or the shape of the brass? My pre 64 ,300 win mag is staying and Ive moved 2 out of 4 others BUT its more from a collector standpoint, the 300 win mag is a kicking SOB! Period and Im not recoil adverse come the real shot vs paper. the very best winpoor


I've shot the 300 H&H in a sweet azzed pre 64 model 70, so I am well aware of how the 300 win mag wants to tear your head off and make your arm and hand go numb while the 300 H&H feels more like a gentle nudge. It reminds me a lot of the 300 WSM in recoil pulse. The 300 win mag does not. The 300 win mag reminds me of a big bully that wants to pound the living chit out of you. Is that kind of what you were getting at???
