Weatherby mark 5 dangerous game

[Dr. Richard Gray]

Is this still available?
You say 5 boxes of ammo; how many rounds of 300 gr reloads, 450 gr, and 500 gr?
I have an RCBS press. Don't know if the Redding dies will work in it, but that's OK. I would also like to know what powder and charge you are achieving the 3200+ fps

1 box of 300's
Rest is 450's but one of the boxes has 5 500 fmj's
I'm going to have to double check the full amount
1 box of brass

Varget stuffed full ha

I've never been fond of compressed charges, especially in .338 cal and up. I tied some in my Super Blackhawk .44 mag and experienced some cracked cases during my reloading inspection and have not used ANY since. Your offer is very attractive and I have a decision to make now between this rifle, which would be a nice companion with my Mark V Deluxe .340, or a new S&W 460 XVR. I hope you can see my dilemma. I bought the .44 in 1977 and am looking at retiring it as a keepsake. I really don't need this rifle, but as a gun enthusiast, I would love to have it. I honestly think the greatest disadvantage of these guns is the cost to shoot them, at $5.00/rd it is one that you don't want to shoot very much.

You don't need to recheck your count. Basically you have over $1,000 in ammo. Give me a few days to think about this and I'll get back in touch. If i decide not to take it, I'll get in touch with a few friends and see if any would be interested.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I have decided to go the pistol route. I really have no good explanation for the .340 and .375 that I have other than just wanting them. I will put the S&W 460 VXR to better use since Illinois does have a pistol season for deer. The problem being, as it is everywhere, I can't find ammunition for it or any of the other pistols I have been looking at, like the S&W 380 ACP. Had you lived within reasonable driving distance I would have definitely bought the gun. I have asked friends if they were interested and gave them the contact info on LRH. Good luck in selling it, you have a great price on the gun.
