[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1976653, member: 109378"] I've got a .300 Wby Mk V that I bought at age 17, 47 years ago. Its a long story but it was the first rig I ever bought and I bought it from a benevolent Dr. friend who decided "the hunting thing" just wasn't for him--he sold it to me for $250,00. Took it to Africa May of 2019...it just shoots. One downside--weight...got a little heavy after a 15 mile stalk on a particularly spooky herd of Eland. It still shoots Sub MOA and looks like new...and its been everywhere. I'm using the same load since 1973 with a bullet upgrade about five years ago from Hornady 180 gr BTSP to Barnes 180 gr TTSX. I use 79 grs, IMR-4831, Fed 215 primers and Wby brass. I could never get a lighter bullet to shoot...any bullet and any powder combo. Nope--gimme something heavier it said. With a 26 inch #2 contour barrel it gives me 3208 fps and a commanding performance on game. 1/10 twist. [/QUOTE]
