Hi,

I've got a Win Model 70 classic stainless in .300 Weatherby mag. with the BOSS that we've never shot. Time to to see how it shoots. I'm looking for the suggested BOSS settings for various Weatherby factory loads with 130 to 200 grain bullets. Anyone know where to find that data? With what they cost I hate to waste more Weatherby shells than are necessary to get this gun shooting.

Thanks!

Looking for accurate stainless rifles in: .243 Win, .338 magnum (Edge?), & .340 magnums, and a .410 shotgun.

For sale: Tikka T3 in .270WSM with a Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9x50, Rem 700 XCR in .270WSM with a Nikon Monarch 2.5-10x44. Mounted scopes on both but neither has hunted yet & both look NEW. Also, a Win 70 SS with BOSS in .300 Weatherby mag..

Let's deal!
 
Yes, the Winchester Model 70 Classic was offered in more chamberings than the Browning counterparts. Finding the recommended settings would likely save me a few boxes of ammunition, and with the price of Weatherby ammunition I figure it's worth doing the research. Both Browning & Winchester have posted suggested BOSS settings on their websites but neither lists the .300 Weatherby chambering.
