Ok this topic is right up my alley here. 6.5x300 Wby has a better barrel life than what most would expect. If treated properly for a...

6.5x300 WBY is spot on with the n-570 and that’s right where I stopped with the 156’s around 3150 but it shoots extremely good and...

I honestly believe the factory 6.5-300 is plug and play with premium Weatherby ammunition out to 600 yards. Proper load work up will...

Not really. Much thicker jacketed still. Especially towards the base. And they do still have (supposedly) an interlock ring to...

Recently considered this cartridge. But with the advent of better 25 cal bullets, a fast twist 257 Weatherby seems like it might be a...

Sweet rug and great load work. That load should shoot thru a telephone pole. I'm loading my 6.5 SAUM with 102 and 116 grain Apex bullets...

Do the ELDX expand/perform similar to a Berger? I haven't shot them, but it sounds like a similar concept. Penetrate a little and then...

Thank you. I'd bet you'd be good with that combo to 300 yards. With less velocity penetration should be even better. Just a smaller...

I did that last year with the 35 gn hammer hunter. 220 swift-AI chrono'd at 4473 average. Shot was 75 yards, the impact velocity should...

The recoil isn't even horrible on the 300, I just keep thinking it should be and it's distracting me from holding 3 rds into a good...

While I'm not the biggest fan of ABLR bullets because they have been finicky to find good loads for, the time tested & proven Accubonds...

You shoot the 280 better. I say go that way. It works on moose and elk. If you ever go for big bear or tougher game, the 9.3x62 will...

Thank you. True we mostly don't need higher BC. But we want it anyway. If one looks at the tailend of the big Badlands thread, you'll...
