The 300 Weatherby Magnum had the flattest trajectory, longest range and the greatest killing power of any 300 magnum on the market until the 30-378 Weatherby Magnum came along. Based on the 300 H&H Magnum, the 300 Weatherby delivers 300 more fps than its British cousin. Introduced in 1944, this is the all-around cartridge for the big game hunter.
