I'd get the 300 Win and forget all this theoretical stuff. If we all followed that logic, why get a 3006 when a 300 Savage is "only" a few fps slower. I am by no means an expert on this stuff, but I have taken a head of game or two and there is a SIGNIFICANT difference at least in my experience (again totally empirical, but then again so is this thread) between game taken with an 06 and a 300 Weatherby or Win Mag. jorge

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
