I can't understand you sentence. But I think you are comparing the two in 150gr.

I don't know as I wouldnt' bother to shoot a 150gr bullet in a big game gun.All I can say isonce built up some 150gr with 4350 powder for the hey of it. Velocity was not good in my gun at 3450fps. But I wasn't after velocity or would have picked a different powder.But thatswhy I have a 308win for deer.

I never suggest people ever trusts too many published data for anything to make a decision on what to buy. Everytime I break out my chrony, people walk away upset.

Every gun and barrel is different. I have had identical calibers, identical guns, identical loads, shoot 100fps different.

Big country,
I guess what I was asking was if a ballistic tip 150 grain weatherby ammo has a projected 3540 fps rating; What wouldlets say 150 grian ballistic tip out of a 300 rum be in fps?

300 Weatherby Magnum
By far the most popular and versatile Weatherby cartridge available. The .300 Weatherby Magnum has the flattest trajectory, longest range and the greatest killing power of any .300 magnum on the market today.

Introduced in 1944, this is the all-around cartridge for the big game hunter. .300 Weatherby Magnum is available in Mark V models: Ultra Lightweight (RH and LH), Accumark (RH and LH), Synthetic, Deluxe, Lazermark, Sporter, Fibermark Composite and Ultramark. Also available in Vanguard models: Synthetic, Stainless, Sporter, Sporter SS, Synthetic Package, SUB-MOA Matte, SUB-MOA Stainless, and Deluxe.
