[QUOTE="BPollard, post: 3004336, member: 114900"] OK everyone knows Weatherby's can be finicky, especially with jump to the lands. Bit more free bore than other rifles . Obviously you need to do your own ladder test to find out where your node is. Every barrel is different. Here are two loads that I worked up for my 6.5-300 Weatherby, Both loads are under 1/2" moa. 127 lrx Shell 2.8175" OAL 3.63" 91.5 gr US 869 And the other load I have is 143 ELDX *78gr IMR8133. I've taken a few elk and an aoudad with the 127 lrx. It performs great at close and long distance. The reason for the ElDX load was I thought I needed a bullet with a better BC for longer distances, but it definitely is not necessary. This lrx load, I’m getting 3538 ft./s. When I shot that aoudad, by the time the bullet got to him, he had turned, and it went through his groin and came out his neck. [/QUOTE]
