Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting The 300 Wby Mag for elk- is there anything better?

What an emotional book this has become. Better, worse blah blah blah...

What is forgotten is that the 300 WBY is about 70 years old and took an already great cartridge and improved it. The 300 H&H has been around 100 years and is accepted as a "Hall of Fame" cartridge.

The 300 WBY is a blown out version of the H&H and has performed wonderfully all those years since. The beloved 300 Winchester came out years later. Then decades later we see overbores of 300 UM and 30-378 trying to be king of the 300's.

Don't forget what the 300 WBY did all those years ago, then someone got a great idea of making a less performing 300 with the Winchester. Yippee!

Now you have all the other guys trying to better the 300 WBY with extra unneeded muscle and you end up with a recipe for machismo and still someone thinks a 243 is all you need.

What a case for proving nothing. Anything more than a 300 WBY is too much of not enough and anything less is not enough of too much...
