[QUOTE="Wraith Hunter, post: 1610004, member: 107141"] I appreciate the agony involved with choosing the best .300 as there are a considerable number of .300 cartridges. I have actively hunted Deer, Elk, Bear and Buffalo for the past 45 years. When choosing a cartridge I decided I wanted a single cartridge that would allow me to use a single rifle for all of my targeted game at all of the distances I would encounter. After hours of research I selected the .300 Weatherby in a Mark 5 model. The .300 Weatherby has a distinct advantage in hydrostatic shock over all other .300 calibers. Secondly, I reload, so I can/could download the load for smaller game. However, I have found using factory ammo, or reloads that match factory load ballistics, provide single shot kills on Deer, Elk, Bear and Buffalo at all reasonable distances without excessive meat damage. Of course I am careful to make heart or lung shots and not shoulder or neck shots. Initially, I was concerned about cost. For me, spending some extra money to acquire a single high quality, reliable rifle, that allows me to hunt virtually any game on the American Continent was and is worth the expense. [/QUOTE]
