Re: Good God! A .460 Weatherby Double!

From everything I've read weatherby's tend not to have any trouble demolishing what they are used on. The main issue everyone seems to report is lack of client accuracy. No fault of the cartridge so no point blaming it
Seems a bit harsh to criticise a rifle based entirely on its user with many details unknown.
Large caliber, large case volume (could load pretty quick with low pressure), isn't that what everyone wants? There's many loads for different nitro calibers, tropical loads etc, for reduced pressure. Regulation isn't mentioned either, so we can't say it's regulated for full tilt weatherby loads and pressures.
If someone says "why not do it to a .450 NE then?", well, maybe they wanted a .460 because they simply like the case.
Sorry sorry sorry, just thought we weren't meant to be nit picking.
Cheers.
Not nitpicking the rifle, just the choice of chambering. Which is unsuitable for a double rifle. Stupid choice. Most owners of .460 Wby Mags use it on one hunt, or one target range session, never use it again, and eventually sell it to its new "proud" hopefull owner. The reason .460 Wby Mags bolt actions are usually available in Africa for a cheap price.
WHY ON EARTH HAVE A .460 WBY MAG AND THEN UNDER-LOAD IT TO A SENISBLE EQUIVALENT CARTRIDGE BALLSITICS?
Of course many guys load down their .450 NEs to shoot PIGS, DEER and other SMALLER animals with. But use it with full power EFFECTIVE ballistic loads at DG.
But Ash, if you like it. Buy it. B
As for "nit picking" it has been ffffing obvious it is and was highly and specifically directed only ...
