[QUOTE="drbobc, post: 239757, member: 9366"] Well I have also had remingtons (still have 2) and much prefer the weatherbys. If you think the idea of a belt and the double radius shoulder, you probably also think the freebore of the weatherby is also ridiculous. Yet, it is these reasons that impart a lot of the power and speed of the weatherbys. As to velocity issues, the ultramagnum is about 50 fps faster than the weatherby. But as we both know, the more powder you use that greater is the threat of throat erosion. My weatherbys are made better than my remingtons and these are recent weapons. If we go back some years to either the Sauer or Howa made Weatherbys, then I will argue that there is absolutely no comparison with weatherby winning hands down. Now if we also add the 30-378 to the fodder, it is with heavier bullets 200-300 fps faster than either the RUM or the 300 Wby and properly made is an incredibly accurate rifle at 1000 yards as shown by a distant relative of mine (Earl Chronister). bob chronister [/QUOTE]
