Specifically regarding the Blaser R8, I am seeking people’s opinions on 300 Weatherby vs 300 Win mag.
The action length is fixed and is adequate for the Weatherby, so I am having trouble coming up with reasons to choose the Win mag other than possibly ammo availability. Given hand loading, It seems the Weatherby can do everything the Win mag can do, as well as having more potential on the upper end. Yet, most people choose the Win mag, so there must be a reason I am missing.
