[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1861580, member: 109378"] Willybuck, I've got one of those old German Made Weatherby's too. It was ironic that was the first rifle I ever bought at the age of 17--interesting story there too I might add:-)! Serial # 21111 Just made the trip with me to South Africa. My latest is the 180 gr Barnes TTSX over 79 grs IMR-4831, Fed 215 primer and WBY brass...same load since 1973, though I've experimented a lot and upgraded to the Barnes TTSX about three years ago. No other powder did any better so went back to that. Yeah, that'd be my keeper too, but was giving advice to someone buying a new and only rifle. I recovered a bullet from a big Kudu that traveled a long way through bone and muscle and was minus the expansion petals but otherwise still intact. And that was from a hit at about 70 yds at 3200 fps MV. [/QUOTE]
