[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 848111, member: 10"] Nothing wrong at all with the 300 Wby, 300 Ackley or 300 Jarrett but I think he is looking to get into a factory rifle first so that eliminates all but the 300 Wby. The 300 Wby is a great round no doubt but it has issues as well. The 300 RUM will easily match 300 Wby loads in performance is you want to take a bit off the throttle, or it will add 150 fps to what the Wby will do in spite of what is claimed by many that the 300 Wby will match the RUM. That is not correct unless the Wby is loaded to very high pressures. The RUM case is just a better all around case design and not TO BIG for a 26" barrel length, in fact the 300 RUM does extremely well in a 26" barrel length just as the 300 Wby does. The 30-378 is much better suited to 28" or longer barrels to allow it to actually show a significant advantage in velocity over the 300 RUM. So while I would agree with your comments that those to 30 cals are very good chamberings, for a factory option or for a custom rifle, in my opinion, they would be ranked well below the 300 RUM for all around performance and function.
