The cartridge is an excellent one and my pre-'64 M70 .300 H&H is among my most accurate rifles.
I bet gun nuts from back when would like to have their pre-64 .300 Wby's back in original .300 H&H configuration. Punching the M-70 H&H to Wby was popular back in the day.
Not too many rounds cycle slicker than an H&H, .300 or .375.

Got that right.. I always scoffed at guys that said they had to pull the bolt back to make sure they chambered a round, because they couldn't feel it. Now I've caught myself doing the same thing on occasion with my 375. The H&H feeds like greasy sausages....They are also very accurate in my experience. Here's how I'd answer mr. Tatelaws questions:
1. Recoils a tiny bit more than a comparable weight 30-06.
2. If it's an XTR it should be worth approx. $750.00
3. Pushfeed Winchesters model 70's are known to be pretty accurate.
4. Ammo and brass is harder to find than other 300 magnums.
5. Brass doesn't last as long because of the case taper.
6. Ballistics are almost identical to the newer 300 WSM.
7. Capacity in some rifles(like the pre 64 model 70) is 4 in the mag box vs. other 300 magnums with 3.
8. Quality of that style of model 70 should be exemplary..
