I used one for a few years , but I didn't use anything lighter than 180 gr bullets in it . To be honest , I predominantly shot 200 gr Nosler partitions through it . I'd be curious as to how a Barnes 150 gr TTSX , or similiar bullet , would perform in one . Sorry , no help , but I'll keep an eye on others responces .

Hi
Thanks for your reply, most of the factory ammo you buy comes as 180grn which is understandable considering the calibre and intended use.
Did you reload the 200grn?
Thanks
ah , i get where you are coming from now
i would get an old lyman reloading manual they tended to have unusual loads like that

Can’t help but think that everyone knows where they were when …

I have one of those (old ish) if I remember I’ll look later.
I’m of a similar quandary in that I’ve just put in for a 300 PRC it will likely be a 1/9 Bergara, so deciding what bullet to use for deer.
Probably copper around 180 grain.

Yes , I did reload the 200 grn Noslers . I used it for longer range Moose and Elk , something it does very well , along with other similiar cartridges .

LOL . I remember the first time I shot a 378WM and a 460WM , you knew something had happened . I actually found the 378 the nastier of the two .Can’t offer anything useful

I have a 300 wby mag, built on a sako 75 action with a 31” barrel, I run 175grain TMK over N165 @3360 FPS.
I can’t comment on running lighter bullets as never tried, it has been run on 208 grain A-max but was fair savage and was sucking guts through the diaphragm of chest shot highland reds.

Do you mean when you woke up in the hospital? You knew something had happened.?
People keep saying about the excessive recoil on the weatherby, thankfully I don’t seem to be feeling it….. the benefits of being a lumpCan’t offer anything useful

Did they perform as hoped?
The sucking of guts is my concern if it gets used on fallow without a slightly steadier bullet, (obviously not the first choice of calibre for fallow)

I didn't find the recoil excessive either , it isn't a 243 by any means , but I found it easily controllable .People keep saying about the excessive recoil on the weatherby, thankfully I don’t seem to be feeling it….. the benefits of being a lump

I run a 175grain tmk and no longer have the issue, even on roe what I’ve shot a lot of with it, was only with the 208 it was sucking the gut.
