I’ve owned several Remington 700 rifles that all shot “lights out” straight out of the box. When I first saw the 700 LR, I was certain this was my next bolt gun. Remington offers this model in a variety of long-action cartridges perfectly capable of precision target shooting as well as big-game hunting. Among these offerings was the tried-and-true .300 Winchester Magnum. As a huge fan of .30 caliber hunting rifles, it was never a question that this would be my choice in cartridge for this project. The .300WM round was introduced in the early 60’s by Winchester and is based on the .375 H&H Magnum. This cartridge is probably the most popular .30 caliber “magnum” round in North America. With bullet weight options ranging from 165-230 grains and being capable of pushing some of these projectiles 3000+ ft/second, it’s no wonder that over 50 years after its inception, it still remains popular. This caliber is used by hunters, competition shooters as well as law enforcement and military units.
