[QUOTE="David Emerson, post: 2103935, member: 112579"] 300 weatherby. The queen of 30 cals. 75 years old and still holds it,s own. People say because of the long freebore it is not accurate. Double radius shoulder is a pain. Belt is no good. Hmmmm The 300 prc is the same power as a 300 roy. Basically the same throat but not quite as long. Ream a 300 roy and tighten up the neck clearance and change the angle from 1 to 1 1/2 degree and my friends it will shoot. Double radius shoulder? Feed like greasy sausages. Speed? A 200 grain nosler partition at 3150 with norma 217 powder out of a 27 inch lilja 3 groove ok? Hmmmm? People get caught up and eyes glazed over by the new. The 300 rum is MAXIMUM capacity for a 30. The 30/378 is just plain stupid. Open it to 35 and then you have something. Enough bore to use it. 3400 with a 250. Recoil of the 300? I have been in situations where you do not even hear the gun besides feel recoil. And that was with a 416 weatherby with no brake. I truly feel the 300 roy put together right is the best big 30. And if you load it right. Bullets begin at 180. 200 is way better. One day a friend and me were west of Augusta MT. 55 degrees in November. No migration elk. Across the canyon from camp was a hillside with a lot of rocks. Ranged a rock at 605. Held and smack. I also had along a 338. 250 at 2700. Shot it next and it was like a 45/70 next to the 300. The 300 weatherby is my betsy. 7 mashburn? Nice rifle. A mini 300 weatherby. No 7 is a big 30. [/QUOTE]
