[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2103914, member: 115299"] Better is a relative term. If we are sticking strictly to 30 cal. I personal prefer the standard 300 Win Mag over the weatherby just because I don’t think you gain enough to justify the extra recoil. If I where going to step up I would step up to the 300 Norma Improved or the 338 RUM/Edge. Both are realistically, along with the 30/378 and 338/378 weatherby mags, of which I own a 30/378 Wby mag and a 338 RUM, the only true 1000 yard cartridges (IMHO). There are lesser cartridges that will do the job, like the 28 nosler, but with less energy than I believe is needed on game the size of elk and larger. A second is a long time for an animal to move and only those listed above can do 800 yards and beyond in less than or a little over a second. If I were going up I would go bigger than the 300 wby for this reason. If staying inside 750 yards the 300 win is all the gun you’ll need. (JMHO) Considering hard rebarreling my 30/378 to either a 300 Norma Improved, a 338 Lapua AI (my smiths recommendation) or a 375/338 Lapua AI. [/QUOTE]
