Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. I'm looking for some feedback on the 300 Weatherby. How does it compare ballistically to the 300 Win/WSM. I know what the tables say, but I wanted some first hand experience. I cant seem to catch anyone at the range who has one. I'm looking to build a new rifle for a variety of big game, except large bears. Any feedback is appreciated

Thanks

I have chronographed the 300wsm,300winmag,300wby and 300ultramag with the following results.Using 180gr handloads loaded to max for each rifle, the 300wsm provides the least velocity.The 300winmag adds around 50fps to 100fps.The 300wby adds another 125fps to 150fps.The 300 ultramag adds another 100fps to 125fps.

Using max loads of IMR 7828, I get 3200+ f.p.s. with 180 grain bullets and 3000+ f.p.s. with 200 grain bullets from my 300 Weatherby with its 24 inch barrel.
