.300 Win Mag Ammo Prices

Released in 1963, Winchester's .300 Win Mag was designed to be the big step up from the .30-06 Springfield. More powerful, flatter shooting and with more accuracy potential than the .30-06, the .300 Win Mag became the round of choice for elk hunters and long distances in the American West. Military snipers have used it for decades and still do although the .300 Win Mag has been largely replaced by more modern precision calibers like the .338 Lapua Mag.

.300 Win Mag runs 150 to 220 grain bullets with 180 as the classic center.

Recoil and price both remind you it's a magnum and there are many half-crescent scope scars on the foreheads of improperly prepared shooters. Respect the recoil, especially on lighter hunting rifles. Heavier guns with muzzle brakes tame the beast.

20-round boxes are the standard unit and they cost accordingly but sometimes 20 is all you need when you're already well-practiced. That's ok and makes sense for a lot of shooters. Hunters who shoot enough for price to really matter watch off-season deals. This caliber rewards shopping patience more than most and deals are out there.
