[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 1976407, member: 106514"] Try Barnes bullets. They are sometimes the only thing that will shoot in that over-bored throat. Having said that. I have a similar issue with a 6.5 PRC on a Winchester action and Bartlein barrel. My old gunsmith wouldn't use Bartlein before he passed away. I am hearing they are not all created equal... While the vast majority of match shooters still use them, they know what they have before they go in to a match. If the Barnes doesn't work, I recommend going to a Brux, Krieger, or Hawk Hill barrel and chambering it in .30 Nosler or some of the Sherman fodder everyone is raving about to get the same performance. The Weatherby chambers are notoriously finicky because of all the free bore. Even Ken Waters noted this in his "Pet Loads" book. I can tell you, because I've tried them all- the .300 Dakota will best them all for accuracy. The problem is getting great brass consistently. Everybody says Reloader 26 fixes everything. If you can find any, try that with a Barnes TTSX. I would try both regular and mag primers to see which does best, but a powder that slow needs a mag primer for consistent ignition. [/QUOTE]
