[QUOTE="Catskills, post: 2103195, member: 106302"] I’ve always been a fan even though I’ve had a couple rifles shoot flatter (30-378 and 7mmSTW). I hate hunting with muzzle breaks and the 30-378‘s extra 200fps was not worth the recoil. My STW shoots flatter, but I think a point is reached where bullet weight and diameter make up for a slight hit in trajectory. My 300wby shoots factory 165 into clover leafs, and weatherby factory ammo has always matched or exceeded published velocitie (I confess I’ve had a hard time matching velocity and accuracy at the same time with my hand loads). I’ve loaded for a couple 300 Wins and they are incredibly close velocity wise. Still, for me, the 300wby remains the right combination for me for deer/antelope and as a backup to my 340wby for elk.
