"Heck there is not a nickle's worth of real world performance difference between the 300 Winchester and the 300 Weatherby. Except that Roy did it first!"
30-06 150 gn max 2950 300 win 150 gn max 3200 300 Wby 150 gn max 3400
Does that mean the 300 win hasn't a nickels worth of real worls performance over an 06?
Yes, I own a 300 wby. Not sure it is worth the extra expense of brass and recoil/ powder burned, but an Ultralight at a killer price became my first Weatherby rifle.
Funny how this has, unless the replies are in pun, a fear amongst some posters. Almost everyone knows someone who stuck mud, bullet, bug in a barrel and bananna'd it, but the guns failed to cause injury. This is becoming a Wby against the world debate, sort of like my favorite Mopar Vs every other brand name.... Being different has it's advantages, if you have thick enough skin.
I am contemplating a 257 Wby right now, and feel a 25-06 is plenty fast for my needs. So I am on the prowl for another lightweight speedster in 25 caliber..... since I have plenty of brass/ dies for that caliber and it would save quite a bit to not have to buy another setup...
