I have a 300 WBY, I had Southern Precision Rifles (Bugholes.com) fit a Bartlein barrel on it last year. I shot some of my existing Nosler AB hand loads in it. It grouped 1" at 200 yds. I will work up loads soon to tighten that up. I was very well pleased with their work. My son is having a...

Who is your gunsmith. I have a Weatherby Mark V about 20 years old, 300 WBY Mag. I thought it was accurate, until I put it on paper at 300 YDS. With a 3 shot group it was about 5". That's after putting a Bell and Carson stock on it. If you let it cool between shots at 100 yds bullets touch...

Sounds like you have it all figured out.

If you have not replaced the factory trigger with a high quality adjustable trigger vet, you might consider it.

Two powders that have been listed would be good ones to try. I have used 7828 with 180 gr nozzler in my 300 WBY. Killed a deer at 880 yds this past season. Waiting in shipment of Berger 210 Hybrid target bullets. From what I have read on here the VLD bullets have set to Jam to shoot accurately...

Thanks. Have some on back order.

Can you post their contact info? I live in NWA. Jeff

Thanks for all of your input. I have decided to hunt with the 215 Hybrid bullets. (will order some if I can find them?) I noticed the hybrid bullets are longer than the classic hunter. Will run into problems with: bullet seating depth and or being to long to fit into magazine? Jeff

I am new to the Berger Brand, but have done a lot of reading on this site about the hybrid 215. I want to load some for my 300WBY mark 5. It does not have any custom work on it to accomodate a long OAL. I have read that the hybred is not sensitive to jump depth setting as the VLD are. My...

Thanks. Do you know what the difference between the hybrid bullets and the classic hunter? Is it the jacket?

I am going to work up a load for my 300 WBY using 185 GR Berger Classic hunting bullets. Does anyone have a report of how these bullets performed on game. What game, how far was the shot, results? Thanks Jeff

I am new to this site. And to long range shooting. I shoot 300 wby. Recelently fitted a bushnell 6500 elite scope using burris rings and shims. I have used a chronograph to verify the velosity. My problem the bullet drop is fewer clicks at 400 and 880 yds than my bullet drop calculator states...
