What's up everybody? We've got 10 minutes here with Mr Ryan Muk and Er and as part of our little holiday special to do a series of our most requested cartridges to date.

We've got a ton of other cartridge podcasts out there, 10 minute talks that you should go out and check out if these are some of your first to listen to.

But on the table in front of us, between us we have the 300 Weatherby Magnum.

This, this has been particularly requested. A lot of the

Weatherby cartridges have, we have the 300 Weatherby in front of us. So Ryan, give us a

little backstory on this. We all know just right off the bat it's a Weatherby cartridge because it's got that rounded shoulder.

Yes. But yeah, why don't you go into these bad boys?

A cartridge almost as great as Mark's beard, the 300 Weatherby Magnum. The year was

1944 young man by the name of Roy Weatherby. Much like P. O' Ackley found a way to

improve cases. Roy Weatherby did too. Adding what we call a venturi shoulder,

which is that radius shoulder for all the same reasons that we see venturies and

carburetors, right? The thought process was... Oh, yeah. I always thought it was just kind of like

set it apart and look cool no there's some some solid theory in it and it was that

that radius shoulder that venturi effect creates that little vortex on the inside of the

case and does a better job of burning powder. It is really a spectacular round.

It was my first real Magnum cartridge. I had one built for me by the great folks at

Wetherby Custom Shop long long ago and it is a really high recoiling cartridge

so I named the gun evil Roy. Damn you Roy.

Yeah.

It is, it is, it's an exceptional round.

Back in 1944, this was a 180 grain soft point at 3,200 feet per second.

Oh man.
