Re: About 300 Weatherby Magnum

Here, the .30./06's, .308's and 7mm Rem Mags. outnumber all 300mags. put together.

The '06 is probably the most popular in the fall with the sighter-inners - with .303's second most popular, then .270's, 7mm mags,.308's, .300 mags, then various other ctgs. the odd lead sled-equipped shooter with an ultramag.

Tied for the most brass underfoot, would be the .223 Fed brass and the 7,62x39 steel cases. The Mounties leave the .223 Fed cases and I've only ever seen one shooter with an SKS - but their brass counts in the thousands.

Friend of mine has a .300 WTBY - loves it - a factory Remington 700. This rifle loves IMR7828 and using Speer's data - for some reason produces more velocity than it should. We've checked this on 2 other chronographs, a Chrony Beta Master and a PACT timer - as well as Gord's Chrony. They, all 3 machines agree - 200gr. Nosler Partitions at average 3,240fps. The books have now about all dropped that loading, but he still uses it- about 82.0gr. 7828 - Speer #9, I think. He's been shooting it since then. His brass is lasting 4 times longer than most people's belted mags so the load seems OK in his rifle. Obviously, he has a 'fast' barrel & doesn't oversize his brass - partial FL sizing is all.

He owns/wants this rifle for long range shooting, but the deer and black bears he shoots most every year are invariably 60yards or closer. He normally uses head shots and it kills quickly - most game looking like that bobcat/like critter Neale shot and posted in his 9.3x62 thread.
