Nothing wrong with a .300 Mag, but I tend to agree with what Jack O'Connor wrote. He said it was neither fish nor fowl. It was not powerful enough to use on the large bears, and kicked too much for smaller game.
I realize it will take large bears, but I do not believe it is that much better than a 30-06 with heavy bullets. On one hunting trip both my partner and I took Kodiak bears with .300 Wby Mags, and both required 3 shots in the shoulder area.
The next time we used a .375 and a .35 Whelen. One shot in the shoulder area finished them.
I won't argue as to what cartridge will do what, but my own experience, admittedly limited, caused me to prefer other cartridges.
