300 Weatherby is a great elk cartridge. I have a Pre 64 70 in a 300 H&H Improved, which I believe is the cartridge the 300 Weatherby was designed to mimic. Same dimensions and loading specs, but with the Weatherby radiused shoulders. My son loves it for elk and I'm pretty sure I'm not getting it back from him any time soon...
However good it is, there are lots of great cartridges out these days that are its equal or better- 338 WM, 300 RUM, 338 RUM, and many more....
A lot of guys who spend a lot of money on tags really don't know rifles and ballistics like the loonies on this forum- they buy what somebody recommends to them, shoot them a couple times a year with some off the shelf ammo, and go hunting with guides and help to get their elk out of the mountains... I've know a few of these guys and they were great guys most of the time but didn't know crap about rifles, ballistics, bullets, etc.....

Bob, what do you use in oregon? Curious
I'm betting you don't know some of these folks like I do.... Hint
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
