The .300 Mag caliber (7.62 x 67 mm) is a high-performance cartridge for medium-weight and heavy cloven-hoofed game. It is preferred by many hunters as a more powerful alternative to the all-round caliber .30-06 Springfield (7.62 x 63 mm) for long-range shots, as it theoretically allows precise shots up to over 300 m. The caliber's disadvantage is its strong recoil and its psychological effect.
A disadvantage of the caliber is the strong recoil, and its psychological effect on the shooters: many begin to "muck" in anticipation of the recoil.
Although the cartridge is popular for driven hunts in German-speaking countries, its characteristics are best displayed when hunting big game in the mountains or abroad. Reasons: Long elongated trajectory and high impact on target, even with bullet-hard game.
