Looking at 300 Weatherby and 300 Win. Cartridge images in this site:

Looks like they are two different sizes.

No, but it was in 300 win. mag.Actually, the only 30 caliber magnum it was offered in was 300 H&H. Some of these rifles were reamed out to 300 weatherby since the 300 weatherby uses a 300 H&H case blown out with the shoulder reset.
The cartridge in question is the .300 Winchester Magnum, and not the .308 WinMag. The .308 cartridge is about 16mm shorter than the .300 Winchester Magnum casing. The two are NOTinterchangeable.
Not even close.
There was no 300 Winchester Magnum cartridge in 1939. A 1939 Model 70 would be marked "300 Mag"...and it will be chambered for the 300 H&H Magnum cartridge. There was no other 30 Magnum cartridge in 1939 in the Model 70. The 300 Winchester magnum cartridge was introduced in 1963,...the last year the Pre'64 Model 70 was made. Your 1939 Model 70 may have had a later barrel swapped in to it. 300 Winchester and 300 Win Mag are the same cartridge.
No, the 300 ultra mag cartidge is not interchangeable with the 300 win mag.
The . 300 Winchester Magnum is a larger cartridge. They both use the same diameter bullet.
If you are asking about the the cartridge length,then the 300 win mag.is longer than the .308win.caliber.If you are asking about bullet diameter then both cartridges are the same .308 bullet diameter.If you are asking about muzzle energy(hence power) then the 300 win mag.is considerably more powerful than the .308 winchester cartridge.
yes you can shoot rifled slugs through smooth bore barell, or use rifled choke for sabots. the sa08 takes the same choke as mossberg...win, etc.
The answer is yes...and no There are several models of Weatherby rifles. Different models are avail. in a plethora of calibers. Here is an example: If you have a Weatherby Mark V chambered for 7mm Weatherby Mag YOU CANNOT shoot 7MM Remington Mag ammo. Dont look at the manufacturer of the ammo, look at the caliber and do not interchange. Weatherby has several "propriatary" calibers, wby 7mm, wby 270, wby 257, wby 460, and others. Look on the barrel for the caliber stamp. If your rifle is chambered in one of these "weatherby" calibers, you must shoot either Wby ammo, or reload. If your rifle is chambered in a standard caliber (270 win, 30.06, 243, 7mm, 257, etc,etc, you can shoot any munufacturers ammo that is in that caliber.

It is a more powerful cartridge. The .300 Win Mag tops out at about 4000 ft lbs of energy, vs the .308 at 2800 ft lbs
