[QUOTE="Freebore, post: 79696, member: 873"] victor, The load for the 115 that is 3500 is for my Lazermark, which is a Japan manufatured. Weatherby had contracted previously with that country, I use to know the name of the company, hell getting old. When they moved back into the states and created the lightweight I knew I NEEDED another rifle that wasn't so fancy for the field (high gloss stock, beautiful wood, monte carlo check piece, rosewood tips, I think the deer and antelope see that and really want a closer look ya know.) I was disappointed with the velocity of the Lightweight compared to the Lazermark and the Lazer is only a 24" barrel. I had expected the USA steel barrels to shoot better than what I can do with the Japanese Lazermark. The load is 76 grains of H-1000 for my Lightweight with an OAL of 3.305. This is MAX in my rifle and what it want to shoot. I caution everyone to start from at least 10% less and work from there. My Lazermark load is above that charge same OAL and is over the top in my Lightweight. I did alot of OAL variety and this is what works in my rifles for this bullet. The Weatherby's were designed with alot of velocity in mind, hence copious amount of 'Freebore' in the chambers. I think every Weatherby will shoot, they just require patience and more rounds down the tube to come in. All of a sudden they were there after 200+ rounds. Do not shoot more than 3 rounds at time in those light barrels and let them go COLD before starting to shoot again. I clean after every 15 rounds. They were designed as 1 shot rifles and none of my kills have been more than that with these rifles on deer and antelope. [/QUOTE]
