[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 908476, member: 69478"] My Dad has a custom .240 Weatherby and there are some downsides to its greatness. One thing is that components for it are expensive and hard to find. The other is all of that velocity comes with a price, barrel life. Smoking 87s out of it at 3500 fps sounds amazing but you're burning 55gr of powder to achieve that. They are extremely accurate but so are .243s and 6mm Remingtons. I have never seen a .243 that wasn't crazy accurate. I don't know if you're talking about the .240 being small because of its diameter or its case size but it actually a pretty big overbore casing, close to the size of an '06. [/QUOTE]
