[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 240162, member: 9172"] Really......I am in third place in IBS SOY points....and I shoot a 300 wby. Lee Fisher is in second place, he shoots a 300 AI in both LG and HG, based on the 300 wby. I just bought Danny Brooks' 300 WBY LG, and he is in first place in IBS SOY points. The only reason more guys don't shoot a big 30 in LG is recoil. And the reason the WSM is gaining a huge foot hold in 1 K is that it just plain shoots at the velocity nodes that the big VLD bullets shoot best. You don't need that much boiler room to shoot in that 2900 fps range. That is why Danny sold his....He is on the WSM now in compitition. I shoot a 300 because it is also my "cabin gun", and I have been around them all my life and know how to feed them. You want my gun specs (I shoot the same gun in both classes), look at the match results at Harris, Pella, and the Nats at Thunder Valley. My points were and are: 300 rum brass is not cheaper than 300 wby brass. The 300 rum is not MORE accurate than the 300 WBY. The belt does not hurt accuracy. I don't think a guy should be steared away from the WBY because some guy posts wrong info about it. And a 15 - 20 % gain in powder for a 1.5% gain in speed doesn't seem worth it TO ME. TO ME. TO ME. Just my point of view. I LOVE speed. But the end result has to be justified....TO ME. If you guys think it is than do it. I am not being sarcastic.......Some guys just flat out LOVE speed. More power to them (again, pun intended). I NEVER said the 300 RUM won't shoot. I NEVER said that the 300 RUM isn't faster with all bullets. I NEVER said I used free bore in my chamberings.
