[QUOTE="Coastal, post: 1825359, member: 36794"] I remember when I was a kid (70's-80's) that there was this recurring idea where it was said that one of the benefits of the 300 Weatherby Mag was that you could shoot 300 win mag ammo in it if needed. Almost like you were shooting a .22 long rifle and could shoot 22 shorts in it with both being ok. I heard it multiple times from multiple sources. I think at least to some degree it was something that was passed around incorrectly among some shooters. Now, these sources were just local gun guys who thought they knew everything but didn't, not real gun experts. And we didn't have the WWW to go look stuff up on. But I think it brings up the point that some folks did and probably still do think it is perfectly fine to do that. Do a search on Google and look at how many results you get of people wanting to know if they can shoot 300 win mag ammo in their 300 weatherby. I think it was, and to a degree still is, a fairly wide spread misconception. I have never seen it done in real life. But there you go, obviously it will work at least a few times. I bet it grouped really nice with that 1/2 inch jump. [/QUOTE]
