You will gain about 300-400 fps over the Win Mag or the Weatherby number. If I already had one of the more common ones, I personallly would not buy one. Shells are expensive and you will find them only at full service gun stores so far. If you need the extra range and recoil then it would be a good buy as thier price at least in a Remington rifle is pretty reasonable. As far as hunting goes a Moose or Bear would not notice the defference in any of the 300 Mags.

There is actually a 300-400fps difference between the .300 Win Mag and the .300 Wby Mag. So, apparently, the .300 Ultra Mag must beat the Winny by 600-800fps. Don't believe the factory-published ballistics for the .300 Win Mag, or any other standard caliber, for that matter. The one thing I can say for Weatherby ammunition, expensive though it is, that stuff is loaded!

Good Dogwork and Good Hunting
