| The .300 Wby has the advantage of heavier bullets, but with identical shots with heavy for caliber premium bullets, I doubt that the elk could tell the difference. |

| Both are extremely fast calibers & will do the job as long as you do yours. |

I don't think there is enough difference to be concerned about. You can find some on paper but in practical hunting I don't think any difference would be noted.
That being said I would choose the Weatherby over the STW because I like 30 calibers and dislike just about anything that has a 7 in it's title. |

| The 300 wby will shoot heavier, more aerodynamic bullets. This means less drop at longer ranges. This potentially could make a longer shot easier to judge. |
