Grenadier, Ripp, I wonder if the Boone & Crockett list really says it all. Maybe some .30/06 and .270 users had smaller egos and didn't bother to register their trophies

Paul while you are probably kidding, I really do believe, at least where I live, the 300 magnums are very very popular... when I am at the rifle range--there are ALWAYS people there shoooting one flavor of 300 or another...might not be true in other areas but where I live it certainly is..
dont think they will do that much more than a .06..but perception of most is that it will...

Thanks Ripp, With all the various 300 magnums (magna?) around now, they probably are leaving the .30/06 and .270 behind. And so they should - if you want to make long shots (and increased hunting pressure must make the game more wary) it helps to use a flatter-shooting rifle. I don't own such a rifle yet but may get one soon to chase tahr and chamois in NZ, though a 7mm mag might be plenty for that.
Cheers - Paul
