[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1259258"] So, I'm going against the grain. I see it as a viable option. Pretty sure all 6.5-300Weatherby's are Accumarks. Feel free to correct me on that. Hand Loader Magazine issue #305 has an article on the 6.5-300 Weatherby. The writer Brian Pearce did extensive load development with 2 Accumark rifles. In his article Mr. Pearce included load data for the 160Hornady InterLock Round Nose. "In spite of a world filled with high demand for sleek, high BC and low drag bullets... data is included for the old Hornady 160-grain InterLock roundnose bullet" Mr. Pearce gives a COAL of 3.505 and a charge of US869 of 80 to 82 grains. Pretty conservative. I checked this against QL. It jives. Checked external ballistics using JBM: Maximum PBR: 342 yd Maximum PBR Zero: 294 yd So, make a 300 zero and out to 350 yards it's point and shoot even with a round nose. [/QUOTE]
