I" personally don't care for the .300 Win Mag. I don't like the short neck design, I find the recoil unnecessarily sharp and the rifles weigh more than I like for most of the deer and elk country I hunt, not to speak of sheep."

Why does a 300 WM weigh more than a rifle in 300 Wby or 308. Norma? . I would think that they are nearly the same. I have been handloading for the 300WM for several decades and have not found it any harder to load for than a 300B or 7mm RM
