oh my...........how we get off on these threads, poor dude asks for info on a 300 weatherby and next thing you know, were putting him behind a 30-378!!! geesh.......

pse, if you have handled a 300 wby and it fits you, buy it! It will be plenty enough for just about anything in North America. If you hand load....even better! There is a plethera of bullets readily available in .30 cal. If you do not hand load, the 300 rum PROBABLY would be easier on the pocket book as far as ammo is concerned but if you have your heart set on a 300 wby go for it!!! Ballistically the 300 rum and 300 wby are close. I have no experience with a 300 wby so I cant tell you about it, but as long as you are happy and the gun fits you, buy it.
