[QUOTE="Playtimefun, post: 1594232, member: 103742"] Absolutely NOTHING wrong with the 300 Weatherby. Accurate as you can ask for. Hits hard. Flat shooting. Put a 180 grain Barnes TTSX bullet in it and hunt EVERYTHING in North America. The only downfall to the weatherbys is that you need a long action rather than a standard length action. And you need a 26” barrel to take advantage of the increased powder capacity. So generally 300s are a little more cumbersome to carry in the bush or take a little more room in the cab while your cruising the back roads. I have Weatherby Mark V and a Ruger No. 1 both in 300 Wby Mag. Cow moose running across a field angling away at 250 yards, that Barnes sailed through her and she was down in 50 yards from a full run. Factory ammo is available from a variety of suppliers. Years ago it was only a Weatherby thing but it’s pretty darn popular and any store that’s going to carry something like a 28 nosler for sure carries multiple types of 300 Weatherby ammo. [/QUOTE]
