Norma Ecostrike .300 Win Mag 165 gr PTBT 20rds

Description

Introduced in 1963, the .300 Win Mag quickly became the most popular cartridge in the .300 Magnum line. Unlike its predecessors, such as the .458, .264 and .338 Win Mag, the .300 Win Mag. features a longer case and a relatively short neck (.264 inches) to maximize case capacity. While traditional cartridge design suggests a neck length roughly equal to or slightly longer than the caliber, the .300 Win Mag. has proven effective despite its shorter neck. It can still be used in a standard-length bolt-action rifle, though this often requires seating heavier bullets deeper into the case, which reduces powder space. Ideal for hunting larger game like moose or elk at long ranges, the .300 Win Mag. offers significant stopping power. Although the recoil is substantial, most shooters find it manageable with practice. For those who seek a milder shooting experience, handloading with lighter bullets can provide a more manageable recoil while still delivering effective performance.
