[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 686032, member: 5302"] Yes. You don't need to crimp bullets for either cartridge; that typically hurts accuracy. And either seating die will work well if case necks are straight on the case shoulders. If you use a .300 Win. Mag. seating die on the Weatherby case, you'll have to back it out of the press so it doesn't touch the longer Wby. Mag's shoulder or case mouth. When a .300 Wby. Mag. seating die's used on shorter Win. Mag. cases, their case neck won't go all the way into the die's neck, but enough to seat bullets nicely. I've used a .30-.338 Win. Mag. seating die on .300 Win. Mag. cases without a hitch and got excellent accuracy. All of a case neck doesn't have to fill a seating die's neck; just enough to keep the case neck reasonably aligned with the die's center. Bullets seat relative to the case neck axis, not the die neck axis. [/QUOTE]
