I was thinking of a 300 Weatherby for a change and wondered if it was really ballistically worth it or if it's more for nostalgia?

I want a rifle all-up at 7.5 lbs or less; I would stay with a 24" barrel. Also for multi-purpose hunts.

What trajectory differences would there be between those cartridges? Any experience to share?


Having gained a little more experience, I would say that the 300 win mag, in the right rifle and hands, has more advantages.

Anyone else feel the same?


No..Not at all
