Our family has used three different .300 Roys. We load 180s to 2900-2950 fps. Never saw it as "too much" for whitetails. Never saw it as not enough for elk and moose.
Maybe a .340 would have been better. Doubt it tho.
Maybe a .270 or 7mm Roy wouldn't have been as effective. Doubt that too.
So why .300? We have several lifetime supplies of .308" bullets. That makes the .300 Roy our favorite Weatherby cartridge.
