What can a .300 WBY do that a .300 Win Mag can't? (38 posts)

As some of you know, I recently bought a Weatherby Vanguard chambered in .300 Win Mag. After making that purchase I have been reading the forums and found that the .300 WBY has sort of a "Cult" following and I was wondering why the same feelings for the WBY cartridge, are not the same for the Win Mag. I feel sort of out of place here on t...

Thanks guys for a great discussion! I really learned a lot. You should see what I am doing to my Weatherby Vanguard now!

There are over 100 pictures of my 300 Win Mag, from right after I got her, to present! She has a new look and will be sporting the finished product in about 2 weeks. Here is the picture page link....

My First Weatherby (4 posts)

I just picked up my new Weatherby Vanguard Sporter .300 win mag and had a Leupold VX-I 3x9x40mm scope mounted to it that I recently purchased.  It's going to be several weeks at least before I can get a chance to take it out and sight it in unfortunately, but this is both my first rifle and Weatherby and I'm quite excited.  I gr...

    Well, after a fairly extensive I was finally able to get out and get my rifle sighted in.  Took a fair few shots as my uncle, who was helping me adjust my scope, was used to using one with finer controls.  After a little dialing in, and switching to Federal rounds, it put a 3 group within 3/4" dead center.  I had never witnessed...

      17 Remington (2 posts)

      Does anyone have any experience shooting and loading for the .17 Remington?  I am kicking around buying one and would like to know what to expect from it.  I have a few varmint rifles and have an itch to get a new one and something different.

        The first thing you will probably need is a new teeny-tiny funnel.  Regular funnels don't work and a powder measure will just usually dump your powder in the floor if you try to load 'em with a measure.  Can't use a 22 cleaning rod either.   I used to load IMR4320 and Hornady bullets.  Remington small rifle B...

        Good Morning,
        My husband and I gave my son a 12 guage, Weatherby Centurion Rifle for Christmas. It was one that my husband had owned in a collection for many years. Impossible to determine how long he had owned it. My son has used it for Skeet shooting recently and the ejection of used shell cartridges is a constant jamming ( even after cleani...

          W-Nation census (8 posts)

             With the census going on right now, it seems like we should do a Weatherby Nation census of our own.  I would like to ask any and all five questions.  They are:
          1) What is your favorite caliber for plinking, practice, and paper?
          2) What is your favorite varmint caliber?
          3) What is your favorite caliber for...

          Nation Members,

          You might be scratching your head about this model on our website called the PA-459?  What does 459 mean, how does this shotgun perform, why is Weatherby making this model?

          Well I hope we can answer some of these questions as well as get your input and insight on this new model!

          Does anyone hav...

          Hey Fox,
          Looks like the drawing was Jan 18 for the SA 08 and winners were to be notified within 2 wks of the drawing.  Guess I didnt win, and since you havent heard anything, I'm sorry to say you probably didn't either.  The winners are supposed to be posted "on or about' March 15.

            I agree,  I started with the 130's and went to the 150's for a little better penetration. The 140's weren't out back when I started so never seen a need to try them.  160's will work.  Just make sure whatever bullet you buy is controlled expansion.  I wouldn't worry about the 270 it will work just f...

            Roger:  We have 3 herds of free roaming Bison (Buffalo) I say free roaming because the state doesn't have fences that will hold them. They will clear a 6 ft fence or just run it over. Big bulls can exceed 2000 # and are not to be messed with. I found out the hard way when I barked at one.  It's a very very limited once in a life...
