New....phhht! Modern and "improved"...harumph! Marketing makes up all kinds of supposed "advantages".
Gotta be one of the "new" cartridges for accuracy! Slop-ey gradual shoulders, belts and rims wreck accuracy, doncha know!

And zero taper cases, with razor sharp shoulders are a must, otherwise you're throwing out cases! Thousands for new rifle + piles for new trendy brass.. and the whole time there's guys getting 30 reloads out of regular 30-06 brass!

Guys literally hand me their spent brass at the range because they know I reload. No shortage of .300WM out there. We’re not talking about F Class here. What are you really gaining at the end of the day… Diminishing returns…
That paper really feels the extra FPS
My go too moose magnum is my 338 wm and then my 7mm rem. I have shot plenty of moose with my 308 in my younger years but I have found the magnums i use put them down with more authority and faster. I traded off all my WSMs and back to the basics.
I do already have a 3006 standing by for when I am ready to step away from the magnums. A recent bout with cancer and its associated treatments had me thinking that time was soon but I am bouncing back well for now.
