With so many cartridges out there today I'm not sure you can label the 300 Weatherby the "best". It's obviously very good and certainly as effective as many others,and maybe more effective than some.

It will drop elk like sash weights...if you hit them right. If you don't hit them right it will also wound them as well as anything else.

It's a great elk cartridge but it's not magic.



The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
