I believe you. With the Damara, Ed Brown puts a brake on his light weight magnum rifles, stating they shoot better. My .300 WM is a tack driver and is in the 6# range even with steel bottom metal.

With the Damara, I'll change present tense to past tense, Ed did put brakes on his Magnum Damara rifles. He no longer makes them, shutting down that line to concentrate on 1911 pistols.
