[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 2354182, member: 75779"] Against my better judgment...I thought I'd jump in on this discussion. There are a few points that aren't open for debate like more case capacity has a higher velocity potential ---- keeping important variables constant. With regards to this, the 300 Wby wins. In same regards, the 300 wm gains velocity by having a longer throat, which allows more usable powder capacity. The comparison of the 2 cartridges is like a 3/4 ton truck vs a 1 ton truck. Really, after we accept a few basic principles, its all personal preference. I love powder capacity and don't care for the massive bullet jump with weatherby cartridges. Also don't care for the double radius shoulder, but that's all personal preference. Bottom line....weatherby wins the velocity contest, just like the 1 ton truck wins the pulling weight contest. Do the difference(s) equal to anything meaningful? Answer is all circumstance /perspective based. In my world...if I need more than a 308W, I don't grab a 30.06 because there isn't enough difference. I think the same way about 300wm + 300 wby. I'm very thankful for the veterans who protect our freedoms which allow us to have these important discussions:) [/QUOTE]
