Lots of good cartridges “don’t get no respect”..... I was at the range maybe a month ago tinkering with a Sako .300WSM..... buddy came up to me and politely asked what I was shooting. When I told him, his somewhat condescending response was along the lines of “I thought that cartridge fad hit the dust bin and nobody uses it anymore”.....

What gives? I shoot what I like and I don’t much care if some other wanker thinks it doesn’t measure up to some bizarre standard set in their own minds..... Oh well, I’ve never been much of a follower.

The .300 Win mag in it’s original form is a plenty fine cartridge and is a wonderful choice for anyone looking for a bit more snap than the really superb .30-06.
