[QUOTE="500mag_guy, post: 802640, member: 34924"] Huh.. See now I have to disagree about the 340 wby. I've never been overly impressed with the cartridge. If you don't plan to shoot over 600 yds you'd probably be alright but beyond that it drops like a rock. Price of ammunition is almost a $100/20 rds. If you reload it won't be bad but neither will a 300 rum or a 338 rum. Look into the ballistics for a 300 rum next to the 340 wby. Yes completely different caliber but with the 300 rum with a 180 gr bullet well out performs the 340 wby with a 225 gr bullet both in velocity and ft.lb. energy. My neighbor and I just went through this exact conversation a couple of weeks ago. He was dead set in his ways for a 340 wby but after I showed him how the 300 rum performed he agreed the 340 wby would be a pore choice and ended up buying a Sendero 300 rum. Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
