[QUOTE="Boman, post: 273049, member: 819"] Have you tried anything from Barnes yet? I have a .340wby and so does my father and we've had great luck with triple shocks. With the weatherby action you push the load pretty hot. We use 90gr of RL 19 and 225 Triple shocks or now tipped triple shocks. We're getting .5-.75 inch groups. Work up to that load though.. its over max but we aren't showing pressure signs. As far as the rifle i'd have it restocked as you are and then try some new loads first. Then look to a new barrel. My rifle now is a custom with a #2 lilja barrel and I can shoot .5 groups most of the time when I do my job. My rifle weighs 7lbs with scope so it can be done. As far as a break I use a high tech rifles break but we've got some great smiths on hear that offer some nice breaks too. either way it can be done with a light barrel. good luck [/QUOTE]
