Hunh?

If I were choosing between the two I would buy the Ultra Mag. I actually have one of each in identical Remington 700 BDLSS rifles. I bought the Weatherby before the Ultra Mag was introduced. THe UM has several advantages over the Weatherby besides it's superior ballistics. Brass and loaded ammo for the RUM costs a fraction of what it does for the Weatherby. Headspacing from the shoulder instead of a belt lends itself to superior accuracy, and without a belt your brass should last longer.
