Depends. . .. . .

Normally need a long barrel for a in efficient case, and they tend to need a short throat witch can make the chamber fussy.

The rums i used had 30 inch tubes and long throats to stop pressure fluctuations when run hard
Throat erosion was a constant event and the 180 berger was not a reliable harvester of light thin skinned deer past 800yrds with its variable meplat diameter.

The 300g berger is a reliable harvester, more so than any other projectile thats beneath it in terms of calibre and weight.

Its not too tricky to make a 338 edge weigh 7 pounds without scope, which is often too light

I would rather have a 300wsm or 300 win mag pushing 208 amaxs at 2800-2900fps than a 7 mmrum for long range harvesting, and have used plenty of them now.

The 208 amax is a Hammer
