It's definitely not a 300 win mag. I can tell that just by looking at the picture of the blown out case. Looks more like 308 Norma. The 308 Norma magnum case is 2.559" long. You could almost measure the distance to the shoulder on the blown out case and see if it matches anything in the books. Keep in mind, many 1903's were re-chambered to 30-338 and 308 Norma magnum back in the day. Have you measured your bore diameter? It could even possibly be a 338 win mag.
