Johan,

You know, I am ALMOST of the same opinion as you regarding the .300. I too own a .257, .270, .300, and .340 Weatherby. I find myself thinking more often these days that the .300 is afflicted with the stigma of the all-around caliber. I find myself reaching for the .257, .270, or .340 in most cases instead of the .300.

This is strictly a matter of perspective based on the rifles an individual owns. I only think this way because I have calibers on either side of the .300. Another man may have the .257 and a .375 H&H, in which case a general purpose .300 Weatherby would fit right in.





I find myself doing the same thing..I pretty much have one type or rifle or another in calibers from .17 to .470 Nitro..--depends on the game I am going after as to which gun I grab--however if I am going to hunt elk..I still reach for a 30 caliber typically--usually my 300 Ultra--
but, leaving today to hunt some muleys in the rut---grabbed the titanium in .257 Weatherby..can be long shots..with 100 gr barns at 3700 fps--it seems to close the distance rather rapidly..
