I got a good chuckle out of this, especially as a 300 Weatherby owner.

Instant death with a bullet placed anywhere on the body. So basically, it's a 6.5 Creedmoor? 😂😇😂😇

Roy gives a dandy gun safety lesson whilst finger banging the trigger the whole time. 🤦‍♂️

I have a couple, almost as good as a 6.5 Creed.
Nevermind the already broken glass.

Hope the Libs don't see this old video.

300s will be on the choping block.

I just bought a new 6.5 to go with my .300 Weatherby. Good to go for life!

Came close to a 6.5-300 to go with my 257 and 300 , might still happen.
Instant death!

Wonder how many bought into that; and if it contributed to the reputation of guys not being able to shoot the big weatherby mags well. If taken at face value, there would be no need to spend the time to learn to shoot well - anywhere on the animal would do.

I'm imagining him breaking a beer bottle and challenging you to a brawl, Happy Gilmore style, for that remark.

With videos like that, no wonder so many .300 H&H's were violated.....

Yeah, that is a shame too. I have one in fact that was originally a 300H&H. I love the 300wby cartridge, but good ol Roy really talked that 300 up. Good thing there was no internet back then because he would have been instantly called on that schidt!! Funny thing, I've seen a couple of the old original mauser built Weatherby rifles recently. They were nice, but over a grand. May be worth it, just for the history of them, but I'm content with my pre 64 that has been rechambered...

You got to be careful so you don't blow the critter in half though..

Would have been interesting to hear Roy and George Herter debate .300 Weatherby Magnum versus .300 Herter's Ram Magnum.

Woulds needed knee boots to save your pantlegs.

Everybody here knows it for the bullsheet it is but I still enjoyed it. Roy was never really thought of asa rifle genius. But he sure could promote

Who needs a chain saw when you have a 300 Wby ? 😁

Liked the suspenseful music before each shot. While I’ve never owned a 300 weatherly, I have owned and hunted with a 300 rem ultra mag which is essentially the same. Recoil vs results wasn’t to my liking so I sent it down the road.

You can wade through all the promo bullscheit and decide for yourself. Nothing in .30 caliber kills better than a .300 Roy. Well, maybe a .300 RUM…
It's definitely corny but still there's entertainment value if nothing else. The one I really like the best is the old film of Camp Wimchester and the model 71 348win. Classic old film, and yes i have 4 of the rifles.
A 78 year old cartridge that is still a premier long range cartridge. Factory ammo that is actually at rated velocities unlike many other manufacturers.

I guess hearing protection was for sissies back then! My dad ran airboats in the glades for decades, no ear muffs, can't hear a thing. I didn't wear them either, ears rang for days after, only my exposure was limited to years, not decades.
