[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2403626, member: 10755"] The difference is substantial. My Classic Stainless weighs 10.5lbs and it has 90lbs/ft recoil with a 300g bullet. My Talkeetna in 375H&H weighs right at 8lbs and has around 65lbs/ft recoil with a 300g bullet. The speeds of both bullets are very different. The Weatherby pushes a 300g Woodleigh PP to 2850fps, I settled on 2830fps, 1g less powder due to it’s accuracy. The H&H pushes the same bullet to 2610fps which is the absolute fastest load I could muster. The Weatherby is much snappier, rattles the teeth really good, but it is actually more accurate than when it was a H&H. I think it’s biggest virtue is that the brass no longer stretches, you can either fire factory H&H rounds to form brass, or use COW like I do, it’s simple to form and takes forever after the necks shrink to get back up to trim to length, barely any case stretch at all. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
