and is a hell of alot flatter shooting and plus its a remington design lol
all im saying factory loads are good for the ultra.BUT handloads the weatherby walks the dog.when u want too go shoot 1000 yards and find out what shoots flatter?the ultra doesnt hold the record.
what u shooting out of the ultra?powder and bullet?
the ultra hasnt been around as long as the weatherby. and most ppl that would shoot 1000 yards use 30-378s… or bigger. thats what my one friends buddy uses.
i have handload data for near 3400 fps with 165 grains in the 300 ultra vs 3200 fps with the Weatherby.
both are good cartridges but the case capacity in the ultra is more than the weatherby. you can stick over 100 grains of powder in those Ultra cases. weatherby is more like mid 80s
not trying 2 be a azz here but that data is wrong we get 3400fps with the 300 wby with 165 gr hornady 95 plus gr of poweder.
its not how much goes in the case it is what is most afficent out of the cartidge.u have 2 have case as full as u can get it 2 be the best round.and 2 do that u have 2 play with dif powders 2 get the case as full as possablewith little case presure
the 300 wby. is just a shade faster than a 300 win. not really much difference to speak of.
I would take a 300 win mag over the wby any day just because if you had to you can find ammo alot easier for the win mag.
this is just one load i seen to show a comparison .i’m sure you can get more out of it.
but fact remains, the ultra still has more case capacity. its a fatter longer case and is capable of shootin the same bullets at slightly faster velocity when loaded right. i’m sure the difference between the two is not a whole lot to brag about but most loads i seen so far for the ultra are just abit faster/more powerful. but w/e the ultra could do, the weatherby can handle as well i’m sure. same range of game, same distance shooting, etc
anyway heres my piece i’ll be using first day… my Remington 870 super mag with 23inch rifled slug barrel…cantilever scope mount with bushnell 3x9x40 scope. around 3 inch groups at 100 yards…not bad for a 12 gauge.
