Norma Ammunition 300 Win Mag 180gr Ballistic Tip x20
Introduced in 1963, this cartridge quickly became the most popular in the line of .300 magnums. In order to increase case capacity, it has a longer case and a relatively short neck (.264”) compared to the predecessors .458,.264, and .338 Winchester Magnums. As a general rule, the neck of a cartridge should be equal to or slightly longer than the caliber, but experience has shown that the.300 Win. Mag has not suffered in this regard. It can still be used in a standard-length bolt action, but the heavier bullets must be seated rather deeply, consuming some of the powder space. Similar to the other. At 300 magnums, it is best suited for long-range hunting of larger game such as moose or elk. The recoil is strong, but most shooters will be able to handle it with practice, and handloads with lighter bullets are a good choice for this.
