I swear my 300win.mag. kicks harder than my .340wby.

Both kick hard/fast, if it's in a standard rifle weight with a nice recoil pad, both are probably manageable and in the same class as far as kick goes.

Technically in the same rifle the Wby will kick harder, but if you're comparing 30ft.lbs vs. 34ft.lbs, etc....is that noticeable?

I believe now you can buy .300wby factory loads for $40. probably not the load you want, but it's a general load, probably would do anything you want it to.

The most popular Weatherby rounds are; 30-378, 300, 257, I'd have no problem going with the .300wby over the .300win.mag., a gas station may not have it, but have you ever needed to buy ammo for a hunt like that? I always hear it, yet it's never even come close to happening...
