[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 54320, member: 12"] 4ked Horn Would recommend that you stick with a non wildcat for a while until you gain experience from the sound of things. Think you will find it much easier to make the gun shoot well and more satisifying for you. The 300 wthby is an extremely accurate cartridge IF done in the right chamber, ie minimum SAAMI and not standard freebore. Dave Kiff and Pacific Precision can help with a reamer for you ($160) Standard BR quality dies are available. It has excellant downrange energy, great accuracy and if you decide to make a jump up in power later, easy to rechamber to 300 Ackley or 308 Baer. If recoil is no problem, then just go with straight 338 Lapua. Key question is what weight are you planning on the gun being? Carry gun (under 12-13 lbs), would stay with the 300 Weatherby. Good luck BH [/QUOTE]
