Stubbs is right, the "cheap" stuff you find for Weatherbys IMHO really aren't worth it. Weatherbys are really in their element when they are cranked up and the coal is poured too them. The 300Wby IS more powerful than the 300Winnie, not by a huge margin but a couple hundred fps IS worth the price of admission IMHO. The 300Wby is THE original supermag 30 and while it might not seem as high and mighty as it once did in the days before the RUMs, the commercialization of the 30/378 or the Lazzeroni's it never the less offers more too the shooter looking for something a bit more than the normal 308/30-06 without having to take up reloading or building custom guns in the name of having "something different".

The Federal and Remington loads are abysmal if you ask me. Sure they might shoot great (as far as a paper group is concerned) but I think you shoot something like a 300Wby because you want to step out there and touch em from afar. The only "commercial offerings" that I have seen that are supercharged and puts the 300Wby in it's proper light are those from Wby and Norma of course, Conelly Precision and the new Nosler Custom ammo. Lastweek I carried my 300Wby out and sighted it in with some 150 Wby ammo and then switched over too a new box of 150Accubonds from Nosler Custom (the box says 3475fps) and they recoil like thunder but shot GREAT!!! (Hopefully I will get to "melt" one in MO Saturday morning with this very combo.)

Race cars cost more to feed and maintain for sure, otherwise we would ALL be driving Ferrari's too work. But when they are properly maintained and "hittin on all 8" they sure are a blast to handle and can only then begin to show you what they really have!
