[QUOTE="436, post: 1677023, member: 16609"] Fare enough, you check into at your end, and I'll check at mine... This is turning into "Tomato or Tamotoe"... good luck. Cheers. Oh, wait I did see something that might interest you. [B] There are many great cartridges in its class, but Roy Weatherby’s flagship .300 remains one of Boddington’s favorites.[/B] It’s probably not inappropriate that, sometimes these days, I feel old. That’s a natural and unavoidable progression, but I like it less when I feel that I’m becoming obsolete! Like, for instance, when I tell folks I’m shooting a .300 Weatherby Magnum and they look at me like I have at least three heads. True enough, the case design is no longer “modern.” Based on the full-length .300 H&H case with body taper removed, the case length of 2.825 inches requires a .375 H&H-length action. It has Roy Weatherby’s distinctive double-radius shoulder which, to my knowledge has never been proven to have any real advantage. On the other hand, it also hasn’t been proven to do any harm. Like all Weatherby cartridges, the .300 has a belted case, which we all know to be just about as old-fashioned as me! Come to think of it, and if you really want to be old-fashioned, there are no flies on the parent cartridge, the .300 H&H . . . but it’s so uncommon today that I won’t try to make an argument for it.
