Yet, not the 308 Winchester and 300 Winchester Magnum. Here there is such an exhibition differential that one should truly think about what each does and which hunting applications each handles best. So we should dive in. Both these famous and unfathomably various cartridges toss .308-inch breadth (30-type) 300 Winchester magnum projectiles. The large contrast is their powder limit.

While the short-activity 308 Win. will hold 49.5 grains of water, the voluminous 300 Win. Mag. will swallow 81.7 grains. This gives the 300 a few benefits:

Around 450 fps more gag speed

Around 900 foot-pounds more gag energy

Compliment direction (6″ at 300 yards, 30″ at 600 yards with 150-gr. Deer Season loads)

Less wind avoidance (1.5 crawls at 300 yards, 7 creeps at 600 yards)

What’s more, the 300 Win. Mag. has the torque to drive heavier, longer, more ballistically productive slugs than the 308 Win.

Will we feel sorry for the modest 308 Win.? Perhaps not, for it has specific ascribes of its own:

Around 10 foot-pounds less free force energy.

Less gag impact (despite the fact that you actually need to wear ear security)

Significantly longer barrel life.
