Folks tend to fantasize about the 1% shot,and gear up for it.

Not knocking the 300 Win mag,

but in most cases,a .308 works just as well,maybe better if you like to eat what you shoot.

Most folks can shoot a milder cartridge better,or,most folks will have to overcome the tendency to flinch if they choose a 300 mag.

Its cheaper and easier to practice with a 308(or any number of other great cartridges).

Keeping your eyes open and placing a 308 will give better results than closing your eyes as you pull a 300 Magnum trigger.

Some folks shoot a 300 magnum real well.Some don't.
