All around bullet for 240 Wby?

[Calvin45]

I recently purchased a Mk V Hunter in 240 Wby. A question for the 240 shooters. What weight bullet for all around/general purpose use? I have been considering the 95 grain
Classic Hunter. Any other recommendations?

Congrats on a sweet rifle!

The 90 grain Sierra TGK/gamechanger has some impressive external ballistics and a stout jacket. Might be just the ticket.

If bc isn't as big a deal can't go wrong with the 85 tsx at weatherby velocity.

It's a boring option but the 100 grain flat base interlock will probably perform better than it has any business doing

If y'all are after the ultimate point blank range whitetail/mulie/pronghorn popper hammer makes a 69 grain absolute and a 70 grain hunter.

If the classic hunter works well in your rifle go for it. One word of possible caution is that weatherby freebore doesn't always play as nice with match/vld shape bullets.

Has anyone tried the Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos Bullets? There's an 85 grain available for 243 diameter.

I have had excellent results with 85 grain TSX, Partition, and Sierra BTHP Gamekings as well as 90 grain Sciroccos and Accubonds and 95gr Partitions. the 85gr Partitions are my favorite of the bunch, with the Sierras not far behind. I would be happy with any of them though.

I've had good success with a 100 partition in a 240 weatherby. I shot a coyote and one deer with a 90gr gamechanger and it was devastating almost too explosive for deer. It blew a 3" exit hole in the yote and it took a 4" swath out of the ribs of the deer. It blew internals out both holes It was simply nasty. A 70gr hammer hunter at 3800fps would flatten deer and bear alike. A Barnes ttsx would be my next choice for a 240.
