[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1014444, member: 12193"] The Weatherby is a cool cartridge. I think you'd have a lot of fun shooting it and it's hard to beat for long range hunting. I would shoot Accubonds or some other controlled expansion bullet for most hunting situations. If you launch those 200 grain accubonds at 3200 fps it's not much different than what a 270 is doing with an accubond as far as velocity goes. That bullet will hold up well enough to put critters down. Bergers have better BCs than the bonded or all-copper bullets but I would steer away from using them at close range. I know some people carry 2 loads for hunting - one for close to medium range and another for long range. [/QUOTE]
