[QUOTE="Longshot38, post: 240336, member: 11627"] Alright I'll jump into this. I have a custom 300 weatherby and I'll make a couple points then I'm out of this debate. One the price issue. Weatherby brass just got hit with a price increase. As recently as 2 months ago I was able to get weatherby brass for $27/20 and about $22/20 when on sale. I don't know if Remington brass has experienced the same price increase or not. When it comes to brass. Just about any brass can be made to shoot well but I still find my weatherby brass to be a bit more consistent then the Winchester I use in my 7mm. However the Winchester brass last longer. And when comparing brass I'll say this, yes the Weatherby brand brass is produced by Norma however from what I have been the Weatherby brass is produced on different specs then the Norma label (something along the lines the the Weatherby label brass has thicker case walls). When to comes to "that silly belt and double radius neck" I does not hurt accuracy and has been proven to work well for the the weatherby round. The only down side to belted magnums is that they require a bit more work when reloading due to issues with the case bulging. Thus it is of no issue and not worth debating. When it comes to direct comparison of the RUM vs WBY. The RUM has more case capicity thus it will always be able to push that bullet a bit faster. But you know what you game will not know the difference between the two thus the debate over 50 fps is not worth the effort. [/QUOTE]
