I'm a classic age wise LOL and I prefer the classic cartridges to the new and alleged super duper calibers coming out. To me it's marketing something new that is a revision of something thats been around a while. The 300 H&H is a classic and it's basically the same ballistics as a 300 WSM. I prefer the H&H chambering. I'm in the process of having a custom single shot built and it's going to be in a classic deer cartridge the 300 Savage which IMHO is the original short mag.
