Ringman I did that with a 300 RUM....owned it for one box of ammo and 24 hours.Just a bit over the top.

The 300 Bee never caused me much issue, but I was pretty recoil tough back then, messing with bigger stuff. I used to shoot 3000-4000 rounds of 300 mag + ammo a year.....Eventually age caught up with me.

I am still not scared of a properly stocked 300 mag; just don't need one anymore.The 7mm mags do the same things for me; less abuse too.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
