[QUOTE="AKGuide, post: 1013290, member: 64701"] I would definitely setup your press and start reading a little into reloading your own ammo. You are leaving a lot of potential on the table without reloading. With your rifle even in a 24" barrel I would guess that you could get 2850 to 2900 using a 215 berger and this would be a very capable long range load. It would most likely end up being a single shot with the long throat of the weatherby's, as you would have to seat the bullets further out and longer than SAAMI spec to get close to the lands. H1000, Retumbo, Reloader25 and imr7828 would all be good powders to attempt to achieve desired velocity and accuracy using the heavier offerings of bullets. IMR's new 7977 looks like it might be a winner also. Lightening the trigger is one of the most effective ways of shooting smaller groups and would be the first thing I would to to your rifle followed by a proper bedding job. Reuben [/QUOTE]
