I have 300 win mag with 25" bbl that is magnaported. I'm thinking of cutting it to 22" and adding a brake (maybe saving some weight and gaining some ease of handling). I wear electronic protection

I love the round and like to have stuff DRT. I reload 4064 and R17

Thoughts?


Cutting a 300 WinMag to 22"and using 4064 is desecrating the very essence of a 300 WinMag !!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to keep it cut off the worthless magnaport and shorten to 24" and have a good brake installed, then try H1000 or RL26 with 180-210gr bullets.................if this does not sound good , you would be much better off getting rid of it and using the 6.5 exclusively.
I love the 300WM myself and with a proper brake the recoil is not that bad.
