Jorge, most of my expiereance has been with the 7mm and 300 Weatherby cartridges. I never had one that shot real well with out farting around with it for a long time and even then the results were not spectacular. The other factor for me, at least in regards to the 300 is the fact I have both a nice 300 win mag and a mod 70 300 ultra mag, which is my favourite. I fail to see what the 300 Bee offers over the Win Mag and the Ultra stomps it handily while using an unbelted case that is cheap(at least prior to the current craziness).
