[QUOTE="Andrew Massi, post: 2573984, member: 106096"] The days of mpbr are behind us- look at the 26 nosler. Accurate dialing repeatable scopes are here, ballistic rangefinders, chronographs, bullets that handle wind drift are here, once people learn that skill and can accurately place a bullet where they want without guessing they don't go back. How do you hold wind top line of an elk with a bullet that you don't know how far it's going to drift? Grass moving hold on his ears, trees moving hold on snout? Weatherby has always been slow to change(15 years late on composite stocks, 75 years to ditch belted cartridges with radius shoulders et el, but I don't think they want to be stubbornly so moving forward, they'd like a larger market share and move out of the bougey niche category. They've recently loaded more high bc long range bullets(bergers, eld-x)in their line to appease their customers. They've offered lead free bullets since the barnes x bullet and are having a hard time sourcing barnes bullets. Enter hammer bullets. Any legal department would tell you the absolute hammer is a nonstarter loaded the way guys on here load them. So the regular hammer hunter will fill that niche in the wby lineup. [/QUOTE]
