I have yet to see my freind's 300Weatherby outperform my RUM. Weatherby is not far behind by only 100 to 300 FPS. I like both guns, but getting away from the pure emotion of the subject meaning (this is the gun I got so it must be better and this round has been around for years, and its all hype, etc, etc), no belt so significant less problems with headspace, less bulging in front of the belt for reloading, more case capacity, no or little freebore, flatter shooting, more energy, you do the math. Figure out which is for you. Both will do basically the same thing and get you the desired result. I don't believe that moose, or brownbear will know the difference. I love that accumark, and it ain't chambered in a 300RUM, but that pricetag is too much for me. When picking the RUM, I wanted a good gun, under 800 dollars, with effective range of 350 yards with my gun zeroed at 200.

Like on poster said, the 30-378 has superior performance. If you want the ultimate speed, and flattness think about that if you have the money.

Time marches on. The fins were cool on the 55 chevy's, but there time was then.
