[QUOTE="drtony, post: 1606386, member: 106501"] Alibiiv, I researched a lot before deciding on this cartridge. The 300 wby is a very capable round for many different hunts. It will shoot faster, flatter, and with more energy than any of the calibers you mentioned (until you jump up to .38 or ultra magnum calibers). I know shot placement is everything and smaller calibers can get the job done, .30 cal will just get it done faster and with more authority. I wanted the 300 wby cartridge because I hunt more than just white tail. I am hunting the pronghorn this year. Elk last year (original purpose of buying a 300 wby) and will again in the years to come. I will someday hunt my dream animals moose, big horn, and bear (in that order). I wanted rifle that could do it all. I believe I made the right choice and I enjoy shooting 300 wby rounds anyway. I really was wondering what round I should use, NOT what rifle I should (based on opinion) have bought. In the future I have every intention of getting other rifles: 25-06, .257 weatherby, 6.5 CM, etc... For now, I wanted a diverse rifle so I can spend my money on the hunting experiences rather than a bunch of new guns that may be "more" suitable for particular hunting situation. Besides, I can only hunt with 1 rifle at a time and I know the 300 wby is more than capable for this. [/QUOTE]
