The .300 Winchester Magnum (also known as .300 Win Mag or .300 WM) (7.62×67mmB, 7.62x66BR) is a belted, bottlenecked magnum rifle cartridge that was introduced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1963. The .300 Winchester Magnum is a magnum cartridge designed to fit in a standard rifle action.
A year later and ahead of its time, the .264 Winchester Magnum was introduced along with the 26-inch barrel Winchester Model 70 "Westerner" rifle, which offered a very flat trajectory ideal for long range shots. The .264 Win Mag offered different bullet alternatives suitable for hunting mid sized big game as well as varmints.
The .300 WSM also head-spaces off of the case shoulder, versus the older .300 Winchester Magnum's belted head space design. The advantage to this round is the ballistic performance is nearly identical to the .300 Winchester Magnum [ 2 ] in a lighter rifle with a shorter action burning 8 - 10% less gunpowder.
