[QUOTE="Tracer, post: 113425, member: 5742"] No Mercy, I have never heard of a 300 Weatherby winning any long range rifle matches! You will find the 300 Winchester magnum accomplishing this feat OK. Now I have a 300 Winchester magnum (2 rifles) and one is a model 70 pre 64 the other a Browning made in Belgium. They are both very accurate. I get a top velocity of 3140fps shooting 180 grain Sierra BT bullets, it has shot groups under .700 from the bench at 100 yards, with it's factory barrel and handloaded IMR-4831 ammo in the model 70 rifle. I would rechamber to the 300 Win mag caliber if your wanting to shoot smaller groups for starters. There are half dozen or so very good barrel makers around. I would give Dan Lilja a call or Hart Barrles. I would also get the best stock available and let a quailified expert in setting up such a rifle for you. You will need to blue print the action etc and there are several fellows on this forum that can do that kind of work. Then your results will be true to form.
