The 500 Nitro Express has “Nitro” in its name, so it belongs in the “Nitroglycerine” Cartridge Comparison Category. And none of those chamberings have “Magnum” in their names, so they clearly can’t belong to the “Monster Magnum” category. Come on. Get your crap together.

It is true that the 30-378 has a slightly larger powder capacity than the 300RUM, it is an anomaly that the 300 RUM shoots faster than the 30-378. The only answer I can come up with is that the 30-378Wby is one of the worst cartridge designs ever ??? Where did you hear that? Got them both, one nice thing about the 30-378 is seating 230’s at magazine length, and it’s accurate....and faster. I don’t use either of them a whole lot anymore.

Best long range hunting bullets out there. After any Core-Lokt, that is. I find that the 7.62x51 shoots flattest out of a 300 Weatherby, though some guys think that they fly flatter out of a RUM. Since we're swinging for the Retard Fence, That's my best swing this morning. I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.

My needs don't include burning 100g of powder every time I pull the trigger. Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE! No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's. A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

OP DX247 Campfire Greenhorn D Joined: Oct 2018 Posts: 55	…….. The 30-06 Has always been one of my favorite Hunting Rifles …. ……. Having said that, I can load the same .30cal 180gr. Hunting Bullet ( 30-06 Equivalent @ 2,700fps. ) to reach a velocity of 3,250fps., with only 30gr more Powder. ….. ….. The point being … with the 300 Remington Ultra Magnum loads, the Speed, Energy at Impact and Ballistics can be increased so much more for Long Range, Which is what this discussion has been about.
