Re: About 300 Weatherby Magnum

Hello Onvy,

I own a Sauer Weatherby in 300 Weatherby, manufactured around 1970.
It is (due to the 1:12" twist) a precise rifle with 150grs and 165grs bullets.
The Rifle has a 6power Zeiss , reticle 4 and I can place three shots in ca. 3" at 200 meters.
The recoil is ugly, so I think the rifle could shoot better if the owner could...

My only hunting experience was a young fox for lasered 160 meters.
He was nervous and tried to escape after he smelled me.
I managed to position a 150grs Weatherby SP bullet in his right ham, aimed diagonally for the left front leg.
After I recoverd from the recoil, I did not see anything fleeing or lying in the ankle-high grass.
I was really astonished thinking where the fox might have gone!
After the waiting period I walked to the area where I calculated the animal should be, then I realized that this was a very flat fox, because his belly skin tore open and his intestines were spilled completely.

So I like the caliber and the rifle, but I restrict myself now to shooting the 150/165 Partitions, because I do not dare to use conventional softpoints for game.

best regards
Rolf
