I wanted to bump up my hunting rifle from a 30-06 to something more powerful. I passed up the 300wm, I looked at the 375 H&H. But settled on the Remington 700 in 338 win mag. That’s all there was available back in ‘94. With its 4,000ft lbs at the muzzle and 2700 ft lbs at 200yds that’s the muzzle energy of a 30-06.

Why did they choose the 300wm? They have the 338 Lapula? England and canada use it.

I’m surprised we never looked at the 7.62x39 and made it a 6.5 x 45 or 7 x 45 replacing the 233.
