    Default M24 300 win mag sniper rifle

    The military ordered 38 million rounds of 300 win mag for the new rifles. What I've read is that this stuff is 70,000+psi. pushing the 220 grain match king bullet. This brings up two questions for me. Is any of this fired brass going to be sold as surplus? Most of it might be left on the ground in Afghanistan I could hope. Is the brass worth a shit after withstanding that kind of pressure? I bet they have some flat ass primers in them. Maybe the primer pockets get loose in one fire? I'd love a cheep source of brass in this cal.


    Hmmm what kind of space do you need to house 38 million rounds....I don't know if my shoulder is up for the task even over a lifetime. Sure would be fun to try.

    Don't know, but i have 1 possibly 2 boxes of the 300 win mag available. Doubt it will take up as much space as the .mils but it's a start

    I wonder if they'll issue cans for the .300 WMs.
