.300 Winchester Magnum

The 300 is an outstanding sniping round, it offers superior power and penetration. The .300 is very capable of extending out past 1000 meters reliably, reaching 1200meters on a nice calm day without much effort. One big criticism of the .300 is the amount of recoil that the round produces. To be honest, it really does punish the shooter, making long sessions at the range a very grueling situation. If you are not careful, you can easily develop a flinch in your shooting cycle. But with proper training, and a gradual migration into the .300, you can overcome this problem.
