I've shot a .300wby before. LOTS of oomph! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Planning on loading up 200gr pills for it & seeing what my shoulder has to say. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I always thought a 300 wby would be the uber elk gun. 'Course we don't have so many elk in Texas so I never got one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Truthfully, I think it is overkill. The .300 winmag is a great all around cartridge up here for moose, mulies & cariboo (Elk are still protected). The wby just adds a little extra powder capacity. I had been looking for a winmag, however the price was right on this wby! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

"I got this great price on the rifle" has moved a lot of hardware <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> If you reload it's probably all about the same cartridge cost anyway.

Exactly. If there was one brand of ammo I can't afford to buy, it is Weatherby! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Seems like the server is running really slow. Do your moderator magic thing and fix it please <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

BTW, I think Mag's head asploded from accounting.

head explosions from accounting work are the worst type. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

And yes, the site has been really slow for at least a week now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I got a weird MySQL error message at one point. Not sure if that is a clue or not. That's the thing about relational databases, you're just never sure who they're having relations with <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

mysql is free software as well... makes for a lot of relations. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I expect they will find the db server is overloaded. Not sure how they have their hosting setup, however it is probably shared hosting and way oversold. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Yeah that makes sense Chris. At one point I was getting a little too competitive and tracked down their ISP. Almost bought a hosted account so my email would be instantaneous! LOL I decided that was a little over the top, even for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Howdy guys! Studying for a test right now, so I'll be in and out a little bit. My wife is home in the evenings now that she's gone and quit her job <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> and will be starting her new day job next week. The result will be me in front of the computers a little less in the evenings, though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I'm excited about her new job regardless - she'll be much happier!

Hey Dan,
Great to hear the spousal employment thing is working in your favor! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

What are you studying?
