Well after a heads up from dubyam, I should have a .340 Weatherby Mark V Alaskan on the way. I say should as I dont ever count my chickens before they hatch LOL. The gun has a 26" barrel + muzzle brake. So now I gotta start thinking on loads. I am thinking about trying the 180gr. or 200gr. GS...

Fotis, We experienced that with the 101gr .257's so we took all our bullets and drilled them out with my precision drill press an additional .125" deeper and the bit we used was just slightly larger to make the hollow point slightly bigger. We then weight matched each bullet by finding the...

That has not been the experiences I have seen with them. I know a couple of different guys with Warbirds that are well past 500 rounds down tube each and doing just fine still. I think most people that spend 5-8K bare rifle are not going to go slinging hundreds of rounds out of them. They get...

Fotis...LOL, Wow, I am surprised to hear you say that GroovyPOP. I still have about 150 of the .257 and 50 of the .243's that I plan on using. I am down to 13 or less of the 7mm's. I have been shooting them this whole time. I love them. Dropped some goats, deer, and several elk. I get sub .5moa...

It is funny how many people bad mouth the Lazz but yet I talk to tons of people that when you start talking dream rifles, the Lazz is on the top of the list. Hoever for performance VS. dollar spent, I dont think you can beat the .378 Wby. That this is a monster of a round.

I would mostly mimic his reply but I would go with a 7mm Roy over the WM or Rum. Actually though as you know, my 7 of choice is the STW but not on your list as the 7mm Roy is not either. My 127gr Grooves shoot @ 3850. With a 300 yard zero I am at under 13" drop at 500. Bad thing is I am at +5"...

I dig it, not the same ol same ol. Well done!

Nice work. Thanks for the pics! Does anyone or would anyone out there be willing to snap a shot of how the bolt on their Rem 700 or Weatherby Vanguards are clearing their scopes?

The larger sight picture is a must with my son. His eyes are slightly crosseyed and so as forgiving as possible scope is what I had to go to. I had a Leupold on it and every time he threw the rifle he could only see black. Not an issue with the Nikon. I was actually more asking along the lines...

As many of you I have been looking into a new rifle. One issue I have with the dual lug actions is the 90deg bolt lifts. On my sons 7WSM Savage I mounted a Nikon Monarch 4-16x42 and there is very little clearance between the bolt and the eyepiece. It is so close that the bolt kicks open his...

Any idea of what velocities you are seeing?

If you dont buy it, give me their number and I will.

Whoa there ot3. I was thanking him for information from a previous post as it had the info I was looking for. Sorry for the confusing verbage.

I tried to call on the 340ROY but Mark's did't answer. tried several times plus filled out a online request as well.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping someone would chime in that had actual knowledge of the progression of the SB bullets.

dubyam, thank you for your time with the links. Has me thinking. This was supposed to make it easier on me not harder lol. The shop here had a Mark V in .300 WBY black on black NIB for $850. I would have bought it yesterday but it was sold. Didn't have the funds when they showed it to me before...

That's what was weird about them. Nosler quit making them and changed them to the Ballistic Tips but they were not the same thing as we had boxes of both. For some reason the .257 SB bullets were very well liked by alot of the Roy shooters including the Weatherby's themselves as they are the...

My first rifle was a Browning A-bolt Medallion Sporter in 25-06 and it had a 22" bbl so I was thinking back to it. I never loaded for it and I shot the factory 117gr Rem Core Lok out of it, I think thats what they were anyways. Actually shot very well at right around MOA. They were vicious on...

So I am going to buy one of these three rifles and would like to hear which you would choose and why. The rifle I am looking to provide some serious power for Elk hunting and possibly future Alaska/Canada/Africa hunts. Max range 600 yards. Not looking for long range, just serious power to hit...

Even in the shorter bbls (say 20-22") the slow powders still give you the performance?
