JMO, not looking for a fight here. Got to go to work, everybody have a great day.
Nor am I fussing or trying to fight. Earlier in this thread I posted current prices on the brass. From memory - Wby brass was $39.00 for 20 ..............Win brass was $29.00 for 50 The cost of the brass is my biggest gripe/complaint. Beside IMO, the 300 WM is TOO close to notice any diff. IIRC Mule Deer posted there was .02 (%) diff. in the cartridges. Have a goodun!

You can buy 300 WBY brass from Remington at a much lower price and they work fine

That's where I bought them from last year. Nickel plated too.

I heard it best said, as the difference between the Weatherby and the Winchester is about 25 yds of Point Blank Range...

Like Spinal Tap said about the amplifier, "this one goes to eleven".
Wish I could find another jilted exwife though, that brass was CHEAP!

The ONLY point I was trying to make was that beltless cases came BEFORE belted and besides belts have abslolutely zero effect on the discussion at least to me they are a completely transparent issue when it comes to cartridge performance or reloading. The bottom line is aside from the cost of brass and the added powder required to get you that extra 100 FPS, there is really no difference in the hunting fields. All things considered I would rather not deal with a belt for the reason of the case stretching ahead of the belt that occurs with most factory chambers, and the fact a belt serves no real purpose. And your 100% right there isn't much difference between any of the 300 magnums, but since we are sorting fly chit from peppar I prefer the RUM for the reasons I mentioned.

Thing is that 175 NPT (3100 fps) will pretty much stay with a 300 Roy-180(3200 fps) for trajectory out to 600...I don't look at energy charts much but I think the two are rather close there,too. Don't know about the bergers and such....a guy could shoot to find out. just saying.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Dober Yeah, but there's a couple of wrong numbers in it... replace the 27 with a 3, a 6, and an extra 0.

Ha... well actually, shot a bull with a 30-06 and a cow with the 270... was shocked of course, they both worked.

Amazing--especially with the .270. Everybody knows no .270 bullet has an adequate ballistic coefficient.

Hey guys,
This hair splitting is of the level of an argument over rearranging deck chairs on the RMS Titanic!
Ask yourself this. If you see two dead Elk could you tell which one was killed by which 300 Magnum?
Another question. When does it make sense to go to an all you can eat for ten dollar Steak House and ask for $20 worth?
