Hey bud can't really answer that but I just got my 6.5x300 weatherby 3 days ago. Just did some break in today with their chep 140 hornady interlocks. 20 rounds down the tube. Last 2 3 shot groups is sub .9. Last 3 were .6 or .7but I didn't care as I was cleaning and shoot clean and shoot. Next time out I'll bring a larger variety of loads and some reloads too.

How you love it? I absolutely love mine in this short period of time..
 
Last to show she was the last of weatherby's custom run of 6.5x300. They just found them in their warehouse 15 of them. 14 got bought immediately by staff and I was lucky enough to call at the right time and snagged the last one.

That is a fine looking rifle. Mine is a vanguard rmef edition. I have shot about 50 rounds now just fooling around at the range. At some point mine needs better optics and possibly a stock if it stays here.
 
My stock is the same one as the Accumark Pro and like it a lot.
Definitely upgrade optics for that long range thumper.
What a cartridge.
I just loaded up a ladder test with bergers 153.5. Going to look for pressure. Used N570
Can't wait to try it out
