[QUOTE="Steven S., post: 1419441, member: 104854"] I'm going to chime in. The 300 Weatherby has been my primary hunting caliber for years. It will more than meet all of your hunting needs on this continent. I've read many posts here, and I agree, that is quite a large caliber to chose for your first rifle and at such a young age. Make no mistake about it that it will let you know whose in charge. By that I mean that the recoil is substantial , barring a good brake. I've also read posts that factory ammo is quite expensive and they're right, it is. The advantage is that Weatheby factory ammo is loaded using Norma brass so that if you decide to reload you'll be using quality brass. Should you decide not to reload , or delay reloading, it can cost upwards of 85.00 a box if using the partition or accu bond bullets which Weatherby loads in their factory ammunition. In any event, you can do much worse than the 300 WBY. It's a great round. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
