[QUOTE="HAMMERHAND, post: 697929, member: 33066"] The .340 wby would be my top 5 favorite elk rounds of all time, however it is taking a back seat to other modern non-radiused, non belted rounds. Weatherby is notorious for freebored barrels, meaning the bullet must travel some distance before getting to the rifling. Several ways to get the gun to shoot better include lengthening the COL to maximum magazine dimensions (if freebore is there), and make sure your loaded rounds are concentric. I never had an issue getting mine to shoot under an inch at 100 yards with a good bed job and a hollands QD muzzle break...was a pleasure to shoot as well. [/QUOTE]
