Which to keep; .300 H&H or .300 WSM - Page 2

J.G. Terry · June 2, 2018, 03:51 AM

The OP said he was thinning his collection. He spoke of the rifles in new condition. There was no talk of cartridges or cartridge performance in his post. We are trying to make the point that the 300 H&H rifle is scarce. The Super Shadow is not. The 300 H&H is worth more money ($). Go look at the current cost of replacing each rifle. Rocket Science. Hope OP has not been run off.

Thanks for the input. Keeping the H&H. The WSM is now on Gunbroker. Now gotta stock up on ammo.

I'd like to think you made the right choice. And you did.

They are both great cartridges but you can't ignore the history of the H&H.

Good Luck on the sale.

Well, I'd get rid of both and get a new 308 or 30-06. Not a magnum fan!

Reloading and collectables: I hope OP considers the option of reloading his cartridges. Reloading is a plus on uncommon cartridges. I'm not wiling to allow my caliber choice to be dictated by Box Box ammo offerings. My 300 H&H is a Remington 721. Yes, I load for it. Yes, it's way more economical. Glad to hear he is keeping his collectable rifle' Seems like some folks did not understand collectible.
