300 wetherby.
why in the would would he want a weatherby?

I have had them all. The RUM is more powerful by a good lot. I was kicking 180gr bullets out at 3350fps. I hate the freebore and belt of the weatherby. And more expensive to reload.And much more expensive for factory ammo.But, but, you can get top quality brass for the weatherby. Which isa plus.

But honestly, I have had it with the RUM and weatherby. I burned out one barrel completely under 1000 rounds. And the last one was a custom had heat cracks within 500 rounds. I loved the power of the round.

So for me, I only go with the win mag or WSM. Take your pick. I am a Short action guy, so I go with the WSM.
