Which 300 to get?
« on: February 10, 2009, 07:04:34 PM »
Been looking into getting a new rifle in the 300 caliber. I've slightly narrowed it down to Remington xcr in ultra mag, Remington alaskan TI, and the weatherby mag. Anyone with experience with these guns feel free to voice your opinion. The ballistics aren't too much different so not completely sure which to go with. The scope will most likely be a Luepold mark 4 in the 4.5-16x50, thanks in advance.

well price may not matter to you with the equip that you have rattled off but the rum is way cheaper to shoot than any weatherby caliber. But you are comparing apples to apples when it comes to caliber, if you are talking about the 30-378 vs 30-338

They are not the same. 30-338 is a necked down 338 to 30 caliber and a 30-378 is a neckesd down 378 weatherby mag to 30 caliber, big differance  ;) One is a major powder burner the other isnt quite as bad, and for only about 200 fps the 30-338 is probably a better choice....maybee.

are you sure there the same? I thought that the .378 case was considerably bigger than the .338 case? If I am still confused please just shake your head in discust and mutter softly about my intelligence and lineage and move on   ;)

hows that thing kick? I shoot an encore .223 and love it and am thinking of buying a big game caliber but as I am an incredible weenie I am a little concerned about kick.
