[QUOTE="redneckbmxer24, post: 3086003, member: 11459"] I never had great results with any of the Weatherby chamberings including the 300, I think due to cartridge design and the ridiculously long throats. 300RUM on the other hand I shot a lot of for a long time with great results. Assuming you had both cartridges shooting equally well with the same bullet there’s not a lot of difference though, the RUM just pushes the same 30 cal bullet a little faster extending your effective range. It’s no different than comparing a 6.5CM to a 6.5PRC in that regard. The RUM is just going to be more inherently accurate based on design. I’d take the RUM over the WBY every time for obvious reasons, but these days I’d take a 300PRC over either for the brass and ammo support as well as the availability of factory rifles chambered in it as well as prefit barrels.
