Need Help! Which Caliber?

[Bullmark]

My money says it's a Weatherby Mag.

 

[Marine sniper]

It is a 300 Wby, no doubt about it.

Tell me about this.

You can use Cerrosafe to check a chamber. Shove a tight patch from the muzzle end, heat barrel slightly, melt Cerrosafe and pour it in. It will harden and at that point you can push it out thru the action. You now have a chamber cast and can take measurements, see freebore, etc. There are plenty of videos on YouTube, I use it every time i get a new gun, just to check chamber length and freebore.

Just bought a 1988 Weatherby Mark V, from cabela's and I thought it was a .300 Weatherby Magnum and not a .300 Win Mag. I am pretty sure it is a .300 Weatherby Magnum, but not 100% sure. Please tell me what caliber it is. Thank you!

WM=Weatherby Magnum
Win= Winchester, imho

It is a weatherby. If it was a win it would not say to use only weatherby

Right Dave...didnt read far enough! 99% certain Make that 99.9 it's Weatherby 300. Weatherby never made outside caliber guns in Mark 5s in the 50s- 2000 that I'm aware of and have Never Made ammunition for any calibers but their own.....barrel says...Weatherby Only!!

Did Weatherby chamber M5's in 300 win mag? Vanguards yes...

I would make a quick call to Weatherby, give them the serial number and been 100% confident that what they are telling you is correct. Done...
