Because a .300 WM is far more popular and it's easier to find rifles and ammunition for.

lefteye said:Even if a .300 Win Mag "is far more popular", IMHO the popularity of a cartridge is not a particularly valid reason for choosing a rifle cartridge for elk hunting.
Having visited small gun shops and big nation-wide stores regularly for more than 40 years, I simply cannot believe it is easier to find a .300 Win Mag rifle and ammunition than several other rifles and their ammunition, .e.g., .30-06, .270, .308, 7mm Mag.
The range limitations between the two are about 100 yards less for the .308.
