An old hunting buddy wanted one in 300UM when they came out, but got tired of waiting, finally bought one in 300 Weatherby. Made fun of him at the time, because he'd already had a 40XB in 7mm Rem Mag and a custom in 7x300 Weatherby for years. Said he was ready for a 30 caliber.
Sub one inch groups at 300 yards with his 150 Btip loads. Poor devil passed away the following year, never really got a chance to wring it out.
Sounds a lot like an older gent that I knew, use to shoot woodchucks near an old cemetery in Potter, bordering NY and PA. His name was Sam.
I like both the 162 amax and eld in the factory twisted tubes.
