Winchester Mag (Win Mag)
.300 Winchester Magnum (also known as .300 Win Mag) is a .30 caliber rebated rim bottlenecked
centerfire magnum cartridge that was introduced in 2001 by Winchester.
The cartridge overall length is 72.64 mm, cartridge case is 53.34 mm in length
and the bullet diameter is .308 in (7.62 mm), which is common to all U.S. .30
caliber cartridges. The principle at work in the magnum cartridge is the
advantage of fitting larger volumes of powder in closer proximity to the
primer's flash hole, resulting in more uniform, consistent ignition.
