Oscar,

My favorite .30 caliber cartridge is the 300H&H but I think the .300 Weatherby is a great round. For about six months I had a .300 Weatherby that had been made in Germany. The cartridge was fine but I didn't like the rifle. I thought the Mark-V action was just too big and heavy for the .300. To make things worse, the stock had a lot of useless wood that would have been better trimmed off. I don't like the Weatherby style.

To me there is a noticable difference in recoil between the Weatherby and the H&H or Winchester 300s. But the Weatherby recoil is not severe and is nothing to worry about.

The Vanguard is a nice sized platform for that cartridge, though it might be a little light for a lot of target shooting. If you want to try some mild loads all you have to do is shoot 300H&H in the 300 Weatherby. I have heard mixed reports on the reloadability of H&H cases shot in the Weatherby.

The most common loads in factory ammo use 180gr bullets. There must be a reason for that.
