[QUOTE="Rob L., post: 3059873, member: 120811"] Kinda nice to read about the love for Weatherby again. 😊 😊 I have 4 of them in different calibers from .240 to .378. When I was younger, I've hunted all over the western states with the .378 and taken many elk, bear and deer and even sheep. I got a lot of weird looks from fellow hunters, lol. There is nothing like seeing you animal getting slammed to the ground like Thor's hammer smashed it. Now I prefer the .340 WBY for elk and the 30:06' for everything else. I load nothing but Barnes bullets at max velocities, but tuned down to best accuracy. The .240 gets 80 gr TTSX, the '06 gets the 168 gr TTSX, the .340 gets 225 gr TTSX, and the .378 gets 270 gr TSX.
