You missed my point, at 500 yards that 300 win mag would have been a far superior rifle, but in 10 years of hunting my partner had never had to take a shot that long. Very few people shoot well enough to benifit from the long range advantages of a magnum, fewer still actualy make shots at game at those ranges. Most people just seem to carry them around waiting for a shot that they never need to take and that they often have no buisness attempting anyways. If you dont fall in to the latter group congratulations, but I have met very few guys that dont.
