I think most all of the newer #1's seem to shoot very reliably.


If you really want to make that rifle scream, punching a #1S out to 300 Weatherby is easy (did it over 25 years ago, sold it to a neighbor, still trying to get it back...not so likely after he shot a bull that went 379 B&C!). No magazine to fool with, no reason for a short-necked magnum designed for a standard length magazine box.

Then again, you may like it just fine as is...

That wouldn't be as bad as the Pre-64 .300 H&H's I've seen punched out to the Roy version. As mentioned, that was the rage back in the day. I hope those guys enjoyed the extra punch, because they sure whizzed off a chunk of equity in what would become an expensive rifle.
