Fragmenting and lead free
EVOSTRIKE is our lead-free fragmentation bullet which means that the "effect" is achieved from the bullet physically breaking apart into pieces upon impact.
This creates outstanding stopping power and with an improved aerodynamic design, the bullet offers a flat trajectory and high precision even at longer ranges. EVOSTRIKE™ is the perfect choice for Small and Medium game when lead-free is the active choice. It is not a preferred choice for larger game such as moose, bear etc.
EVOSTRIKE™ achieves its effect through its dual-core design where the front part of the bullet has radial perforations for quick fragmentation upon impact. The rear end of the bullet is a solid core which penetrates bone, skin and other tough obstacles and leaves a discernable blood trail behind.

About the caliber
Introduced as late as 1963 this cartridge was soon to become the most popular in the line of .300 magnums. Unlike the predecessors .458, .264 and .338 Winchester Magnums it has a longer case and a rather short neck (.264”) in order to increase the case capacity.
As a rule of thumb the neck of a cartridge should be equal to the caliber or preferably a little longer, but experience has shown that the .300 Win. Mag. has not really suffered in this respect. It can still be used in a standard-length bolt action but this means that the heavier bullets must be seated rather deep and hereby occupy some of the powder space.
Like the other .300 magnums it is at its best for hunting larger species like moose or elk at long range. The recoil is heavy, but most shooters will be able to handle it after some practice and handloads with lighter bullets are a good choice for this purpose.
