.300 Winchester Magnum
Kimber and HS precision make rifles for the.300 Winchester Magnum cartridge. Different manufacturers produce different cartridges for the exact same caliber. They are all different in their properties and can be used for different purposes. This article will give you a quick overview of the different features of each cartridge. Cartridges should be a minimum of 86mm in size for best results.
300 Win Mag is an excellent long-range cartridge because of its versatility. High BC bullets make it easy to hit far-off targets. A typical bullet that shoots well in this caliber is the Hornady 208 grain ELD-Match. The bullet's lightweight design, aerodynamic form, and flat trajectory make them a great choice when hunting long distances. It is a popular choice for hunters, despite the high price.
Marlin:.444
Most.444 Marlin cartridges shoot flatter than.45-50. A factory-loaded round of 265 grain will shoot at a muzzle velocity in excess of 2,400 feet per second, fall an average of eight inches at 200 yard and six feet at 400 yard, as well as drift approximately two feet in crosswind. That is a ballistic fact that you will see when hunting.
444 Marlin ammo has good ballistics out to 150 yards with an energy level of 1,334 foot pounds after impact. Hornady, a well-known company that boosts the performance of old cartridges, has produced a 265-grain flex-tip bullet with a ballistic coefficient of.225. This bullet has a muzzle energy of 3,180 feet pounds and can be used in a 24 inch rifle barrel.
Marlin,.458
The.458 Marlin can be used as a versatile rifle, thanks to its short barrel and fast firing lever action. This rifle is very easy to handle and mount. Also, the rifle can be used for short-range shots due to the lower power of the.4570 cartridge. These rifles are often converted to 458x2 rifles from Winchester 86s and Henry rifles. These rifles are very heavy and require a gunsmith. However, they can withstand higher pressure than a Marlin.
The A.458 Marlin cartridge is approximately 3.75" in length and has a maximum MAP of 39.187 CUP. You can use many different types of bullets. While A-Square estimates that the maximum MAP of the.458 Marlin cartridge is 3.75" in length, this is still considerably more than the maximum case length. Reloaders have an abundance of.458 Marlin Cartridges to choose from.
