The maximum point blank range for the 12 g (180 gr) bullet is 300 yards when zeroed at 232 metres (254 yd). The ability to zero the .300 Winchester Magnum and shoot without hold over to 270 metres (300 yd) makes the cartridge one of the flatter shooting cartridges.
The drop table can be generated empirically using data taken by the shooter at a rifle range; calculated using a ballistic simulator; or is provided by the rifle/cartridge manufacturer. The drop values are measured or calculated assuming the rifle has been zeroed at a specific range. The bullet will have a drop value of zero at the zero range.
Groups may alternatively be described by the angle of dispersion. A one-inch group at 100 yards is approximately equivalent to one minute of angle, [2] indicating that firearm would be expected to place bullets within a two-inch group at 200 yards, or within a three-inch group at 300 yards. [3] Terminology may be confusing.
The trajectory of that load looks like this: +2.3 inches at 50 yards, +4.4 inches at 100 yards, 0 at 200 yards, and -26.2 inches at 300 yards. Winchester offered factory loaded .256 Magnum ammunition (and brass to reloaders) into the beginning of the 1990s.
The .300 WSM also head-spaces off of the case shoulder, versus the older .300 Winchester Magnum's belted head space design. The advantage to this round is the ballistic performance is nearly identical to the .300 Winchester Magnum [ 2 ] in a lighter rifle with a shorter action burning 8 - 10% less gunpowder.

Most of the more than 300 Iranian munitions, the majority of which are believed to have been launched from inside of Iran’s territory during a five-hour attack, were intercepted before they got ...
The M2010 fires .300 Winchester Magnum (7.62×67mm) ammunition that offers about 50 percent greater effective range than the M24's 7.62×51mm NATO. This chambering to dimensionally larger cartridges is possible because the M24 was designed to use the "long action" bolt version of the Remington 700 receiver for cartridges up to 3.34 inches (84. ...
