What a bunch of Hooey.

Load 180 Accubonds in each. Site in at 200 and shoot an animal at 300yds. The Weatherby will hit with 2650ftlbs of energy and the WSM will hit 1" lower with 2300ftlbs of energy. There isn't an animal in the world that it would make a difference on.

The biggest difference is that the WSM will do it with a rifle that weighs 2lbs less , kicks less, that's 3" shorter and burns 15-20grs less powder.

The difference is in the rifles that shoot them more than the rounds.

I own a couple very nice 300 Weatherby's but I'm not silly enough to think that it's a much more powerful gun than a 300 WSM.........................DJ
