Allen:Deep down inside,I have to admit that the 300 magnums,as a class are at the top of the heap as an all-round,go anywhere,shoot-anything big game cartridge.They flat work,and really well,too,on any soft-skinned game I can think of.My experience has been with the Winchester,Weatherby,and H&H.They are easy to get to shoot accurately .I no longer own any,not because they aren't great,but because I no longer enjoy shooting them.It's an "age" thing and I want less recoil,so have backed off to the 7 Mag and 270 (second tier IMO,but still very good) almost exclusively,unless I feel I need more, in which case I just "cowboy up" and shoot the 375.But if you can't get 'er done with a Big 30,it's gonna be tough to do it with anything.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
