what woud Carlos Hathcock say
The Army considered the difference significant enough that all the .308 sniper guns are being rebuilt as .300 Win Mag. Apparently the long range benefits are there.
They do NOT shoot handloads, factory production only.
If it was as big as a T-Rex and you shot him with your .50 BMG he would still be the one taking you.West Texas, wide open spaces out there for long distance shooting, although I agree I wouldn't take an animal at 1,000yd's unless it was a big as T-Rex.
a target 1,000 yards off and it hit it every time I triggered a remote release connected to the rifle, that would be the caliber for me. If it can't hit the same spot within a foot or two
Ok, this thread has been totally hijacked
There is no comparing a 308 to a 300 win mag. That's like comparing a 22lr to a 22-250...
If your going to be shooting 100rds a day, or at 1k i think there are better cartridges then both.
For 1,000 yd ranges, what cartridge would you go for?
