[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 225320, member: 505"] The 300 wby is an exceptional cartridge that I have shot for many years. I made my longest ever shot on a deer with this cartridge at over 1300 yards near Alder, Montana in 1976 while on a hunt with Bobby (Eivel) Kneivel. It is very accurate and easy to load for. Like the 340 wby, I also like a lot, there is not a lot of difference with the ultramags. One of the ones I currently own actually shoots right with my two 300 ultramags. 3240 fps with the 200's and 3450 with the 180's. But it is one of those special barrels way outside the lines. I need to have that thing examined to see how it does it. But I just enjoy it. The 300 wby has been a great rifle for 50 years and still nothing beats it by much with accuracy or velocity. The 30-378 wby gets it by 200 fps or so with the 200. But honestly is an animal going to know the difference between 2200 fps or 2000 fps way out there. I have killed elk with handguns slower than that. [/QUOTE]
