To me the benefits of a 300 Win mag are slight but could theoretically be the following:
1. better performance with 200 grain bullets
2. longer case provides more reliable feeding in high pressure situations where the bolt is cranked rapidly-whether for dangerous game or non-dangerous game
3. the belt could theoretically give better bore alignment when the cases are full-length sized with some slop for maximum feed reliability in dirty/dusty feed conditions
I realize all these points can be trivialized--but we are talking trivia-so this is my viewpoint on the trivial advantages of the standard 300 WM.
