300 weatherby i magnum

[jruby]

I have a question - what is wrong with this cartridge. I have seen more than a few trying to off load thier weatherby rifle chambered in this cartridge. I have a mid 60s Mark V built by JP Sauer - to me a very nice rifle but there has been zero interest. I might have paid too much for it but I am hard pressed to get half of what I paid. I reload for it so the cost is notvan issue . It isn't a bad rifle but I dont need four 30 caliber magnums. I was just curious.

If the rifle shoots well and you enjoy it then no sense cutting it loose at such a loss only to thin the collection, that is to say you don’t need the money for some sudden unexpected expense. I personally don’t care much for the Weatherby rifle design, but that shouldn’t mean anything to anyone other than me, and the rifles are generally of good quality for those who like the style. Weatherby cartridges are of course known to need downloading in hotter climes. I feel like the cartridge .300 Weatherby Magnum is just about the practical limit for this bore diameter; larger capacities really seem to cross the line into the realm of diminishing returns and overbore extremism. That said it reigns in terms of unbridled power in a .30-caliber that is useable and useful, with the added bonus that you can shoot .300 H&H in it if you want to.
