Great load data here. What rifle weights are producing manageable recoil with with 200gr 3000 fps plus .30cal projectiles?

I don't get thinking bullets and brass are expensive when you spend $5000 plus on a custom rifle. You have a great rifle go with best components if they work

Hammers Website has the 196 stable with 1:10 so I'd say yes.
When in doubt call Wby.
I looked that up and saw that. But I also saw it's actually 193 grains. Hammer does stuff like that and for all I know the 195 Weatherby actually weighs 196. 3 grains and geometry of bullet can definitely make it not shoot in a 1:10. I'll call Wby on Monday. Thanks.

Would be interesting to hear that they design, order and load a custom bullet that doesn't even stabilize in their rifles, and then put it in ammo that costs 3 digits. But anything is possible.
