Good informaion. I knew you would spend more time than I did researching the velocities.
The numbers I posted are from the Nosler reloading website and I realize one source, a limited online manual which obviously from your research is not a good resource, wasn't a valid basis to show my point. But, the Weatherby does give enough difference for SOME to justify the additional expense of brass, powder charge needed, cost of gun, etc. to justify the purchase of a new gun. I purchased mine more for the weight and price than the hype, but I had no 30 cal hunting gun, only 7mm's, which allowed me to buy more bullets for my inventory...lol
A good 30-06, practice and a range finder would be cheaper than a 300 wby purchase, but the additional flat shooting ability and energy of a faster 308 bullet is a real world benefit.... worth at least a dime's advantage....
