The .300 Weatherby is a decent elk round if you don't need much reach and love recoil.
But then if that fits the bill then the .340 Weatherby offers even less reach and kicks even more.
But then if that fits the bill then the .33-.378 Weatherby offers even less reach and will kick even more.
Need I go on??
John what is your favorite round?
The 6.5MM 140gr VLD scooting along at 3250fps.
The .264 Win Mag with a bit of a long throat has been the chamber.
If I do my part it kills them dead and if I screw the shot up I have to shoot again.
Easiest to shoot combo that will absolutely break bulls from very close to over 1000yds.
I bet it works good for what you do.
I need a rifle that works on angling 50 yard shots in the timber and reach out to 400 or so in an avalanche chute or near the head of a drainage. And be able to pack it up a mountainside. 300 Wby works very well.
