Yeah, I'm surprised they don't opt for the 7mm Rem Mag instead. With 150 grain or better bullet, it is plenty accurate out to 900 to 1,000 yards and will still deliver 1,500 ft. lbs. of energy at 1,000 yards. But, the 7mm Rem Mag only has two-thirds of the recoil of the 300 Win Mag. Plus, let's face it, most of these protective snipers in an urban setting are hardly ever going to need to make a 1,000 yard shot and the 7mm Rem Mag will put a man down quickly at any range under 1,000 yards. I mean, hell ... if you really feel the need for overkill, skip the 300 Win Mag and go straight to the .338 Lapua Mag or the .50 BMG.

ribit - may be clear to you, but stone cold sober, it is a no go for me. Kid was laying down - no way the bullet impact could drive him 10-15 feet.

I am having trubble wrapping my head around 'bullet stats' and having them square with my understanding of physics - particularly the 'equal and opposite' laws of physics. Just me tonight, it's not quite clicking ....

from your link http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/lodge/300-win-mag-ballistics/

1000 ft-lb impact vs 30 ft-lb recoil ... hunh ???

. Even at 900 yards, the 300 Win Mag can pack the 1,000 ft lbs punch ... At 30 ft lbs, the 300 Win Mag’s recoil energy places it on the upper threshold of what shooters can tolerate ....

Not computing fur me - not doubting 'em, just not gittin it.

Appreciate the info - gotta chaw on it fer a few days.
