The military wanted 2850 FPS from a 220 grain bullet. Then I picked up Sniper mag today, and a lot more of the story came out. That made sense, the first reasonable thing I had heard.
He told me it was loaded much longer than SAAMI. 300 WinMag that was being used wasn't really a SAAMI WinMag, and that the cartridge being used wouldn't fit any factory chamber out there. Guys who had spent literally years shooting, coaching, and building high performance systems when the subject came up. This past weekend I got the chance to spend hours with some of the most knowledgeable weapons system guys out there. That made no sense, but I decided that there might be more than one way to skin a cat and maybe they had found some magic. 300 WinMag approved by SOCOM had performance bordering on the. Then the stories started to circulate that the. SEALS and other Special Forces operatives had used it, and everyone seemed to love the ballistics. 338 Lapua in their long range rifles, and it seemed that with the upgrade of the Remington to the PSR, that it was a logical time to move to the larger cartridge. I always found this to be a strange decision.
