Try a box of 168 TTSX before giving up on Barnes bullets. they work well out of my 300 WSM at about 3150 FPS. You will get well over 3250 from your Weatherby.
Or…..some LRX's. memtb

With all due respect, in today's world, I don't understand this comment. Good quality, electronic ear muffs both enhance hearing and protect against muzzle blast. I wear them when making a stalk.a brake can be challenging as you need time to set up and get ear pro in.

This is how I tame recoil in LIGHT WEIGHT rifles…
Get yourself a Pachmeyer Decelerator recoil pad fitted. My 375 Weatherby has lightweight HS-Precision Sporter stock, the rifle not only recoils hard and fast, but also twists to the left from torque of the bullet. Weighs just under 10lbs. The Pachmeyer made a huge difference over the hard original pad, so this has been done to quite a few of my rifles. My 300RUM SPS still has the original Limbsaver from Remington, it does a good job too.
Cheers.
Funny thing, my CZ550 Safari Magnum in 416 Rigby came with a Decellerator as standard, the 375 Weatherby still feels faster in recoil…That description of recoil sounds oddly familiar! memtb
Never thought I would hear this. Undergunned, yes, not overkill.300WBY is overkill for elk imo.
No way i'd want a 300 wby in a lightweight rifle.
Muzzle brake and a limb saver recoil pad.So I have a Vanguard in .300 WBY. Took it to the range today to get it ready for an elk hunt next year and let me tell you what. She HURTS!! 5 shots and I said that's enough. So looking for options. What can I do to this gun to make the recoil less? Should I just sell and buy an easier on the shoulder elk gun? What do you guys think?
