I inherited my 300 from my Uncle Knox who bought back in the late 60’s I believe. I have the sale paperwork and will have to dig it out sometime. It definitely is a beautiful rifle.
I inherited my grandfather's Southgate California 300 Weatherby, it has a serial number of 804. He traveled down to southgate california and bought it directly from Roy and they test shot it in the basement. I still have a fair amount of brass that he fireformed from the 300 H&H, as at the time It was very hard to find 300 Weatherby factory ammo up here in Canada. That brass has been reloaded more than a 20 times and is still in good shape.
I too inherited my uncle's 300 Weatherby Magnum that he also purchased in 1972. The stock is amazing and the rifle is significantly lighter than my dad's Sako 7mm Rem Mag that he bought in 1973.
Got a brand new left-handed .300 Weatherby in a Mark V Lazermark stock with a 26" barrel for my birthday in 1983, and still have it. Not only beautiful, but it performs as good as the day I got it. Love that thing.

Ryan is an absolute encyclopedia of cartridge information. These "10 minute " episodes are awesome!! Like Ryan, someday l will own a 240 Weatherby. Maybe a 257 Weatherby too.
I’d like to see something on the 378 Weatherby family of magnums, like the 30-378, 338-378, and the OG 378 Weatherby. All of them seem like powerhouses ahead of their time.
You all probably dont give a damn but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Rowan Santiago I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Since you have mentioned a rapidity 6.5, in Europe, it is evident that you know it, we have, although not very used, a 6.5x68 that comes from nothing less than the 8x68s, both from 1939. It is an exceptional cartridge but it is difficult to find chambered weapons. Usually expensive and, as you can imagine, with a recoil to take into account. Thanks for the channel and a happy new year from Spain.
Great information. I shoot a 270 wby mag and a 300 wby mag. The 300 I bought with factory brake. This truly makes it a pleasure to shoot and a total choice for women and those of us big guys who like to shoot a lot without the recoil.
The .375 has been defunct for 69 years and hasn't been made since 1950 and the ammunition discontinued in 1960. The .375 Weatherby rifles date back before there was even a Weatherby action i am quite certain of. In 1950 I am thinking that his rifles were still being built on FN Mauser actions. I would love to see an original Hollywood Weatherby FN Mauser rifle. That would be something very awesome and collectable and valuable.
Your cheap deer rifle that made the transition from black powder to cordite to smokeless powder. The round that served in 2 world wars and is quite capable of humanely killing nearly every animal on this planet with a single shot.
Aussies and Canadians did a lot of 03 wildcats. And perhaps most popular though not based off the ,303 originally but can be formed from it , the 6,5x53R Dutch Mannlicher/ .256 Flanged.
I lived up in Arctic Canada - I took Caribou out to 600 yds with 303 british. Great round, low recoil, and cheap and the Lee Enfield rifle is a remarkable hunting rifle....
I really enjoy the podcasts when you have Ryan on, he's a wealth of knowledge and has such a great delivery. You guys have such a great presence and interaction, it's one of the reasons I watch most every episode even if it's not necessarily a subject that particularly interests me.
Hey Ryan! Roy Weatherby was working on the 6.5-300 Weatherby way back in the mid-50s and there is rumor that there are two prototype rifles out there somewhere chambered for 6.5-300 Weatherby way back in the 50s.
I honestly like the fact that the ten minute talks turn into a 15-20 minute talk! The more info the better! Please keep this going! I would like to hear about .224 Valkyrie
My family has taken many moose and caribou all with the same 300 weatherby and 180 trophy bonded bear claw. Longest at 250 yards. Excellent round for big animals even at range.
i just picked up a LH Mark 5 Weatherby 300 MAG today. used from Cabelas. whoever owned it, loved it. engraved all through out, super high gloss barrel. i'll check it out this weekend and find out the year etc.
I have 2 300wby mags and I love em both. Mark v deluxe and Mark v accumark limited. But my favorite is still my .257wby. Drops big bucks in their tracks with very mild recoil.
Thanks for these 10 minute talks, very informative. If you every get a chance it would great to hear one on the 300 PRC. By the way, love your products. I have 3 of them so far looking into another. Thanks again!
I picked up a very lightly used Weatherby Vanguard Hush edition in 300 Wby Mag. It has a brake so recoil is certainly manageable. It doesn’t require a second shot on deer size game that’s for sure!
Naively, there are two opposite end-goals with high-velocity long-distance shooting. 1. Target shooting where trajectory and repeatability ...not lethality...are important; 6.5 Creadmoor, etc. and 2. Hunting where lethality...energy, expansion and cold barrel accuracy...are important; 7mm mag., .30-06, etc.
A long distance paper target or a steel don't really require much velocity, expansion nor terminal energy. Just get there accurately with multiple rounds fired from a warm or even hot barrel multiple times.
Colt-Sauer made a fantastic bolt action chambered in 300 Weatherby Mag. My old man took one caribou hunting in northern Quebec and shoot out at ranges where the bullet spray on the tundra would mark for elevation and the round still tipped over animals out at distance.
Caliber talks are the best thing about this channel and which lead me to subscribe please do more of these like a ton more i watch these when im eating or drinking a cup of coffee or smoking a cig or driving lol basically all the time
@@joshsinglefooter I like the 35 Whelen, I hope to pick up a CVA scout next year. It's a good caliber. But people underestimate the 444, it's one of the best big game cartridges out there and it deserves far better than it ever gets. (Same with the 35 Whelen and personally I also would include the 35 Rem as well at least from my limited experience with it). I'm trying to make more videos about the 444 myself but if more big name channels pick it up I have no doubt it can gain as much popularity as the 10mm has received. Just my two cents 👍
I have a Weatherby Vanguard in .300 Wby. It's not pretty, but it's a tack driver. Perhaps it's the synthetic stock, but it's a lot easier on my shoulder than my old wood-stocked Savage 110 in 7mm Rem mag. At my age, it's probably the last elk rifle I'll ever buy.
35 Remington would be interesting, probably the most underrated and misunderstood North American hunting load. It is honestly all you need for northeast hunting, will take any game and probably the best big woods cartridge of all the brush guns.
Not to those that have hunted with it 😉. It has its limits of course. Within it's limits though, it hits hard with heavy lead. I made the mistake of selling mine to a family member, with the stipulation that should he need to sell it. I would buy it back for what he gave me ( family pricing ). He sold it to someone else two weeks later. Never trusted his word again. Still miss that rifle
@Jason Bored Might be worth it to look into the 350 legend then. Really wanted to get an AR upper for the similar ballistics of the 35 rem/ 357 Max. They didn't have all the bugs worked out. So went a different route.
Based on performance and history, the .300 is one of my favorites. It’s current popularity and viability is case in point of the big .300 as a timeless classic.
I was at the range one day;range being an over statement, it was a clearing on forest service land. Any way there was a guy shooting .300 Weatherby. He rolled his own and said most of the time he only loaded it to .30-06 power but then would load some to full power for when he went out west to elk hunt. That’s the beauty of big magnums if you load your own. You don’t HAVE to load them to factory spec. You can make them weaker so you aren’t killing your shoulder on smaller game but still have the power for big stuff and not have to buy a bigger gun
I used to do warranty work for Weatherby Ive gotten to shoot pretty much every model of gun and all the wby cartridges I loved doing accuracy issue claims I have a personal range with 500 yards to shoot and play with them, the 300wby is great but I love the 30-378
Another fun video boys. It is a point of boastful local pride that I live and farm only a few miles from where Roy Weatherby grew up here in central Kansas. I've known several people of his generation who went to school with him. Sadly they are all gone now. One of them was a very successful local business man and very good friend of mine. About 1982 he wanted to get one of his retiring employees something other than the traditional gold watch etc. One phone call to Roy and voila, a Mark V was shipped directly from the factory to a local gun store in time for the employee's retirement celebration. Roy's first cartridge, developed in 1943 was his 270. It WAS based on the 300 H&H case but would fit in a standard length action. If I could afford one it would be the 270 or 257. I refer to most of his creations as Roy Weatherby Meat Destroyers. I know that the Weatherby cartridges and rifles were and are great technical and ballistic advances, but some of the things that Roy spouted were pure BS then and now. I just watched a Utube video of a film from the late 1940's or very early 1950's that was obviously a promotion by Weatherby. It featured Roy himself being interviewed and shooting his 300 side by side with a 30-06. In the film he proclaimed that the 300 Weatherby Magnum was the world's most powerful rifle AND that it didn't matter where you hit an animal. It would be instantly dead from shock! He also claimed that his 300 would stop a charging elephant or anything else in its tracks. The 300 Weatherby may have been the world's most powerful bolt action rifle at the time, but I doubt that it could match the big 450's and larger double rifles used for dangerous African game. Come to think of it, I wonder how it compared to a 416 Rigby bolt gun. The 458 Winchester wasn't there yet. No matter what velocity I don't think there was or is any 30 caliber bullet that is strong enough to stop a charging elephant. Does Barnes make a .308 diameter 200 grain solid?! It's no wonder that Elmer Keith was about to explode when Roy started talking and Jack O'Connor was consistently taking elk with the 270 Winchester. Of course Elmer thought the 30-06 was a minimum for White Tails and with the exception of the 35 Whelen, anything less than the 375 H&H for elk was ludicrous! Keep up the videos boys! For shear historical reference and entertainment, If I can figure out how to do it, I'll send a link to the Weatherby video. I'm almost as old as the film.
Personally have shot a .300 wby mag, a M1 Garand 30-06 and 14:28 an Enfield Ishapore 7.62 NATO (essentially a .308). Despite it’s reputation, the .300 wby mag kick was just slightly beyond the other rifle/rounds. And the performance was far superior (flatter).
I have a weatherby mark V ultralight, 26" barrel, with a muzzle break it's 27 3/4". Favorite rifle of mine. I shoot the 180 grain nosler partitions in it, and I don't think I will ever need a different gun, unless I go for brown bears up north. Simply phenomenal performance in every which way. But ot does cost around 80 or 85 bucks for 20 rounds. Not a plinking gun for sure. Honestly, recoil isn't bad. With the muzzle break, I feel like it kicks the same as my 308 without a break. Very, very manageable. My nephew, who is 11 years old shoots it without a problem
I ended up buying a 300 WBY to push monolithics faster to ensure reliable expansion at ranges beyond 400 yards. It works great! If you like splat and gore, it exceptional coyote cartridge. Not great on hides. I have actually blown the front off-shoulder from the carcass.
The 340 Weatherby mag cartridge but the 300 Weatherby mag cartridge, my first hunting rifle cartridge, both will get the job done, but the 300 Weatherby has less, causing discomfort when shooting it. Love the cartridge.
I'd like to see a talk on 300 Savage just found out my friend has a 300 Savage rifle, a caliber I don't know much about yet. Interesting case for a lever gun.
Fantastic choice for a discussion. In 2019 I decided to actually not just talk about getting a .30 cal to compliment my .270 but buy one if I found the right deal. I was looking at the Tikka T3 in .300 WSM for a long time, but never jumped on it. The .300 WBY was in my list since I wanted something different than my Dad and bros’ .300 Win Mag. I wanted to shoot a rifle in this because I heard it is a shoulder stomper, even though I am not recoil shy, but I couldn’t find someone to let me do that. I ended up finding a deal on a Savage M110 Long Range Hunter in 300 WSM for $565 down from $900 and went with that. If I could have found a Vanguard in .300 WBY Mag for a similar deal I might have went with my own Evil Roy.
My 300 Wea Mag is in a Win Model 70 SS. I’ve tried a lot of bullets on elk and the 190/Hornady BT just puts em down faster than any other bullet. The 180/Partition is also good. Too bad Hornady stopped making the 190 Interlock.
I have had 2 300wbys as my hunting rifles for 20+ years now . They both shoot amazing with handloads and im suprised yours beat you up as mine seen very manageable. Both have brakes but both have been the go to by choice for several young hunters including my daughter who is ten getting her first deer this year. The only drawback for me is that in recent years the brass is getting harder to come by.
The value of the 300 Wheatherby to me is in the heavy bullets. A 225 grain bullet with a BC of 0.690 has a lot of energy at very long range. On the range I could always tell when someone was shooting a Wheatherby or a Winchester 30 caliber because the extreme impact a long time before hearing the report of the rifle. We were at the target to mark the shots.
Id like see a talk comparing weatherby loadings and nosler loadings 6.5-300 v 26 270 weatherby v 27 300 weatherby v 30 340 weatherby v 33 Seams both makers look to achieve the same with their offerings-Ultra performance. Who does it better? I’ve got a 26, and two different mark V’s one chambered in 270 weatherby and one in 300 weatherby Great show guys
Sorry about so many posts but believe it or not I load and shoot a 35 Whelen using a 225 grain bullet and my average velocity is 2816 at muzzle. A 300 Wheatherby using a 220 grain bullet is listed in the Nosler loading manual at 2841 fps. The big difference is the 30 caliber bullet with the high sectional density flies so nice and the 35 slows much faster.
my uncle took 30 H&H spent shell ... reloading with unknown powder and plugged it with soap. he never told me what and how much powder but great fire formed case. but case life was lower
The 340 Weatherby uses the same case & hits harder than 375 H&H, & is great for Big Bears in 250 grain Nosler partition. Always thought highly of Weatherbys. But should have allowed other rifle makers to use their cartridges. It is fact that Weatherby thought high velocity kills by causing tissue to disintegrate. I think his point has been proved time and again.
My father shot a coyote with a .30-06. Shot it between the shoulders, front on, and the bullet exited the hind quarter, destroying the animal. I shot one in the head with a .30-30. I cannot IMAGINE what kind of a mess .300 Weatherby Magnum would make of a coyote.
like the TTSX ... I watched a vid with Jessica Brooks.... she mentioned that you can drop down a weight or two and get the same ballistics or in Ryans case better for the 300 Bee. Great day ! I remember a guy who told me he shot a doe mule deer and it looked like a murder scene.
Hello gents!!! So what's your take on the 300 RUM when compared to the 300 Weatherby Mag and the 300 Norma Mag? To be honestn I LOVE the the 300 RUM but feel that it's only being handicapped by the manufacturers poor decision to continue to mfr barrels with the ancient 1-in-10 twist instead of a more modern 1-in-9 or 1-in-8ish. Any thoughts?? Thanks, Ken from NJ
Roy Weatherby was no fool.He did his math and physical research and came up with a cartridge that will never be surpassed.If you cant do it with 300 Weatherby your doing it wrong was the statement back then. Fantastic cartridge as where most he developed.
You’re right, it’s a very intriguing cartridge, and, in my opinion, it’s the best of the AI cartridges. In case you haven’t seen it, they did do a video on this. Take care! EDIT: I do know that mulies and antelope hate it. 🤠
Just won a 300 Weatherby in an auction and I can't wait to shoot it! What ammo dealer does anyone recommend that carries that round for sale by the case or any bulk rate?
I think I've been spoiled by the 6.5 Creedmoor. The .300 Mags which used to feel quite reasonable, now seem to have come to life and they don't like me very much. Evil indeed. Still, when I saw an extraordinary Lazerguard, the .300 Wby was the only way to go. I'd just as soon have had traditional checkering but the figure in that stock was irresistible. "Take my money".
I inherited my uncle's 300 Weatherby Magnum that he purchased in 1972. It has the most beautiful stock I have ever seen on a rifle.
I inherited my 300 from my Uncle Knox who bought back in the late 60’s I believe. I have the sale paperwork and will have to dig it out sometime. It definitely is a beautiful rifle.
I inherited my grandfather's Southgate California 300 Weatherby, it has a serial number of 804. He traveled down to southgate california and bought it directly from Roy and they test shot it in the basement. I still have a fair amount of brass that he fireformed from the 300 H&H, as at the time It was very hard to find 300 Weatherby factory ammo up here in Canada. That brass has been reloaded more than a 20 times and is still in good shape.

Im loving the cartridge talks but still looking for a 7mm talk.
They had a 7mm 08 and a 7mm Rem Mag I believe
Yeah, they just did a 280AI one the other day.
Good luck.... Ryan doesn't like the 7mm Rem mag
@@ReloadingWeatherby i feel like he tries really hard to not like it but he secretly cant stop thinking about it
@@timbattaglia3649 I've heard him say that he's not a fan of it and thinks it is overrated
I really enjoy the 10 min talk episodes. I am suprised these videos don't have more views then they do.
I used to do warranty work for Weatherby Ive gotten to shoot pretty much every model of gun and all the wby cartridges I loved doing accuracy issue claims I have a personal range with 500 yards to shoot and play with them, the 300wby is great but I love the 30-378
Do you think you would be able to do a talk about the Weatherby 30-378 magnum.
Another fun video boys. It is a point of boastful local pride that I live and farm only a few miles from where Roy Weatherby grew up here in central Kansas. I've known several people of his generation who went to school with him. Sadly they are all gone now. One of them was a very successful local business man and very good friend of mine. About 1982 he wanted to get one of his retiring employees something other than the traditional gold watch etc. One phone call to Roy and voila, a Mark V was shipped directly from the factory to a local gun store in time for the employee's retirement celebration.
Roy's first cartridge, developed in 1943 was his 270. It WAS based on the 300 H&H case but would fit in a standard length action. If I could afford one it would be the 270 or 257. I refer to most of his creations as Roy Weatherby Meat Destroyers.
I know that the Weatherby cartridges and rifles were and are great technical and ballistic advances, but some of the things that Roy spouted were pure BS then and now. I just watched a Utube video of a film from the late 1940's or very early 1950's that was obviously a promotion by Weatherby. It featured Roy himself being interviewed and shooting his 300 side by side with a 30-06. In the film he proclaimed that the 300 Weatherby Magnum was the world's most powerful rifle AND that it didn't matter where you hit an animal. It would be instantly dead from shock! He also claimed that his 300 would stop a charging elephant or anything else in its tracks. The 300 Weatherby may have been the world's most powerful bolt action rifle at the time, but I doubt that it could match the big 450's and larger double rifles used for dangerous African game. Come to think of it, I wonder how it compared to a 416 Rigby bolt gun. The 458 Winchester wasn't there yet. No matter what velocity I don't think there was or is any 30 caliber bullet that is strong enough to stop a charging elephant. Does Barnes make a .308 diameter 200 grain solid?! It's no wonder that Elmer Keith was about to explode when Roy started talking and Jack O'Connor was consistently taking elk with the 270 Winchester. Of course Elmer thought the 30-06 was a minimum for White Tails and with the exception of the 35 Whelen, anything less than the 375 H&H for elk was ludicrous!
Keep up the videos boys! For shear historical reference and entertainment, If I can figure out how to do it, I'll send a link to the Weatherby video. I'm almost as old as the film.
Would love to see a talk about the .375 H&H
They did one on the .375 Ruger which basically turned into a talk about the .375 H&H.
Marmalade , thanks. that's one of the few I haven't watched.
Hey guys can you do an episode on the 338-378 Wby Mag
I have one I like the flat shooting. I put a muzzle break on mine reduced recoil but made it louder.
I have a 300 and a 257 Weatherby and love them both. I was wondering if you plan to do a talk on the 257 ?
Few mentions of the 6.5x300 weatherby!! Bring it to the table!!
Personally have shot a .300 wby mag, a M1 Garand 30-06 and 14:28 an Enfield Ishapore 7.62 NATO (essentially a .308). Despite it’s reputation, the .300 wby mag kick was just slightly beyond the other rifle/rounds. And the performance was far superior (flatter).
The 6.5-300 won a Wimbledon match in the late 60's/early 70's
I have a weatherby mark V ultralight, 26" barrel, with a muzzle break it's 27 3/4". Favorite rifle of mine. I shoot the 180 grain nosler partitions in it, and I don't think I will ever need a different gun, unless I go for brown bears up north. Simply phenomenal performance in every which way. But ot does cost around 80 or 85 bucks for 20 rounds. Not a plinking gun for sure. Honestly, recoil isn't bad. With the muzzle break, I feel like it kicks the same as my 308 without a break. Very, very manageable. My nephew, who is 11 years old shoots it without a problem
Your Holiday special! Christmas 2021 viewing!!
You guys are fantastic! Thank you!
Also - you guys should go hunting with Steve Rinella.
Is there a 300winmag 10 minute talk? I'd like to see one.
I ended up buying a 300 WBY to push monolithics faster to ensure reliable expansion at ranges beyond 400 yards. It works great! If you like splat and gore, it exceptional coyote cartridge. Not great on hides. I have actually blown the front off-shoulder from the carcass.
The 340 Weatherby mag cartridge but the 300 Weatherby mag cartridge, my first hunting rifle cartridge, both will get the job done, but the 300 Weatherby has less, causing discomfort when shooting it. Love the cartridge.
I'd like to see a talk on 300 Savage just found out my friend has a 300 Savage rifle, a caliber I don't know much about yet. Interesting case for a lever gun.
I have a 300wby in the vanguard and that thing shoots great I'm getting about 3/4 inch groups
How accurate is the 300 wby. I was looking at the 300 wby or 7mm rem mag. The recoil doesn’t both me
These cartridge videos are very informative keep them coming.
Do you guys have a podcast covering the 6.5 300 mag?
Fantastic choice for a discussion. In 2019 I decided to actually not just talk about getting a .30 cal to compliment my .270 but buy one if I found the right deal. I was looking at the Tikka T3 in .300 WSM for a long time, but never jumped on it. The .300 WBY was in my list since I wanted something different than my Dad and bros’ .300 Win Mag. I wanted to shoot a rifle in this because I heard it is a shoulder stomper, even though I am not recoil shy, but I couldn’t find someone to let me do that. I ended up finding a deal on a Savage M110 Long Range Hunter in 300 WSM for $565 down from $900 and went with that. If I could have found a Vanguard in .300 WBY Mag for a similar deal I might have went with my own Evil Roy.
Another great video always enjoy you guys . Is there a .300 win mag 10 minute talk ?
My 300 Wea Mag is in a Win Model 70 SS. I’ve tried a lot of bullets on elk and the 190/Hornady BT just puts em down faster than any other bullet. The 180/Partition is also good. Too bad Hornady stopped making the 190 Interlock.
I have had 2 300wbys as my hunting rifles for 20+ years now . They both shoot amazing with handloads and im suprised yours beat you up as mine seen very manageable. Both have brakes but both have been the go to by choice for several young hunters including my daughter who is ten getting her first deer this year. The only drawback for me is that in recent years the brass is getting harder to come by.
The value of the 300 Wheatherby to me is in the heavy bullets. A 225 grain bullet with a BC of 0.690 has a lot of energy at very long range. On the range I could always tell when someone was shooting a Wheatherby or a Winchester 30 caliber because the extreme impact a long time before hearing the report of the rifle. We were at the target to mark the shots.
Let hear about the .300 Win Mag 😍
Had a .300 Wby Mag once. Never got it to shoot worth a damn but you could tell it had crazy power. Really, it was too much gun for my needs.
Too much gun...What does that mean? 😂🤣😂🤣
@@nmelkhunter1 unnecessarily strong
@@borkwoof696Actually, my comment was a joke. Kind of like having too much fun or a beer too cold. Make sense?
I'm sold 300wby will be my next hunting rifle. Buy a life time membership at BHA they give you a Weatherby in your choice of cal.
Id like see a talk comparing weatherby loadings and nosler loadings
6.5-300 v 26
270 weatherby v 27
300 weatherby v 30
340 weatherby v 33
Seams both makers look to achieve the same with their offerings-Ultra performance. Who does it better?
I’ve got a 26, and two different mark V’s one chambered in 270 weatherby and one in 300 weatherby
Great show guys
I would love a 257 if they produce projectiles that were heavy for caliber and could produce a high ballistic coefficient for PRS shooting
Do u reload? Havent u heard of BlackJack bullets .25cal 131gr ...best 25 bullet u gonna get to date
Love my 300 weatherby mag
Sorry about so many posts but believe it or not I load and shoot a 35 Whelen using a 225 grain bullet and my average velocity is 2816 at muzzle. A 300 Wheatherby using a 220 grain bullet is listed in the Nosler loading manual at 2841 fps. The big difference is the 30 caliber bullet with the high sectional density flies so nice and the 35 slows much faster.
my uncle took 30 H&H spent shell ... reloading with unknown powder and plugged it with soap. he never told me what and how much powder but great fire formed case. but case life was lower
You guys should do a cartridge talk on the 7x57 Mauser AKA .275 Rigby
I would love to see a 10min talk on the 7mm Mauser
Same here, and the Ackley Improved version which is going to be the next rifle I build.
Yes please!
My 3 favorite cartridges 3 days in a row
The 340 Weatherby uses the same case & hits harder than 375 H&H, & is great for Big Bears in 250 grain Nosler partition.
Always thought highly of Weatherbys.
But should have allowed other rifle makers to use their cartridges.
It is fact that Weatherby thought high velocity kills by causing tissue to disintegrate. I think his point has been proved time and again.
Other rifle makers did/do use Weatherby cartridges, just uncommonly since most Weatherby shooters want a Weatherby rifle…
Do an episode with 45super,450smc and 460rowland all on one episode
Had a 300 weatherby in a Remington and let me say really great round.
I love my .300 Weatherby.
Can you review the 6.5-300 please ?
When are you guys going to review the 300 Remington Ultra Mag?
My father shot a coyote with a .30-06. Shot it between the shoulders, front on, and the bullet exited the hind quarter, destroying the animal. I shot one in the head with a .30-30. I cannot IMAGINE what kind of a mess .300 Weatherby Magnum would make of a coyote.
You guys should do one on a 30 378 weatherby
What would be the ideal twist rate to turn a 240 weatherby into a long range precision cartridge
7.5 - 8
like the TTSX ... I watched a vid with Jessica Brooks.... she mentioned that you can drop down a weight or two and get the same ballistics or in Ryans case better for the 300 Bee. Great day ! I remember a guy who told me he shot a doe mule deer and it looked like a murder scene.
I would like to see a discussion on the Nosler offerings such as the 27,28 and 30
Hello gents!!! So what's your take on the 300 RUM when compared to the 300 Weatherby Mag and the 300 Norma Mag? To be honestn I LOVE the the 300 RUM but feel that it's only being handicapped by the manufacturers poor decision to continue to mfr barrels with the ancient 1-in-10 twist instead of a more modern 1-in-9 or 1-in-8ish.
Any thoughts??
Thanks, Ken from NJ
Roy Weatherby was no fool.He did his math and physical research and came up with a cartridge that will never be surpassed.If you cant do it with 300 Weatherby your doing it wrong was the statement back then. Fantastic cartridge as where most he developed.
280 ackley deserves a review. efficient magnum performance, high bc and as accurate if not more of the 6.5 creedmor
You’re right, it’s a very intriguing cartridge, and, in my opinion, it’s the best of the AI cartridges. In case you haven’t seen it, they did do a video on this. Take care!
EDIT: I do know that mulies and antelope hate it. 🤠
7.62x39 would be interested in hearing your thoughts being its still readily available and becoming more popular in the US
Did you guys do one with the 300 win mag? If not you should.
257 weatherby mag would be a nice hear about
300 prc and 300 norma talk would be ideal
Just won a 300 Weatherby in an auction and I can't wait to shoot it! What ammo dealer does anyone recommend that carries that round for sale by the case or any bulk rate?
I think I've been spoiled by the 6.5 Creedmoor. The .300 Mags which used to feel quite reasonable, now seem to have come to life and they don't like me very much. Evil indeed. Still, when I saw an extraordinary Lazerguard, the .300 Wby was the only way to go. I'd just as soon have had traditional checkering but the figure in that stock was irresistible. "Take my money".
300weatherby is awesome
I hunt exclusively with 300wby, I love it so much that I will never leave it!
340wby might just be the best of the breed! and only needs 24" barrel. will smoke the 6.5, 300, etc... won't burn out your barrel.
