I was looking at some guns that professional hunters use. You know, the guys on all those TV shows and the guys that get paid to test gear. It turned out that 9 out of 10 of their guns fired the .300 win mag. All the things I've read say that there is almost no difference between the .30-06 and the .300 win mag out until 400 yards. So why the .300? It's not like they're getting 500 yard shots.

Thanks,
Ken B.
