The company formally introduced the fruits of their labor to the world in 1963: the .300 Winchester Magnum (also known as the .300 Win Mag, .300 WM, .300 Mag, or .300 Winchester, but not to be confused with its cousin the300 WSM). Like the .308 Norma, the .300 Winchester Magnum ...

The .300 Winchester Magnum uses the same .308″ bullet size as the .308 Winchester, .30-30 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, 300 WSM, .300 Ultra Mag, and .300 PRC. Bullets like the Barnes LRX, TSX, TTSX, and TAC-X, the Berger VLD and Hybrid Hunter, the Hornady A-Max, ELD-X, ...
