Thanks Scotty...I can always count on getting good advice from you...
Honestly, since I bought the Sako Swede I haven't used the WBY much at all...and, I have 15 boxes of ammo for it...only have about 3 1/2 boxes for the Bee so need to get maybe 4 more...two of the 140 ab and two of the 150...
I have a Mark V 270...all I have ever shot out of it is Weatherby factory loads...extremely accurate I might add...I see that Nosler has several factory loads for this rifle and was wondering if anyone here has used them...I realize that most of you are purists hand loaders but thought there...
I just saw this, Tom, and I am just sick...that was an absolutely georgeous stock and, I think, the primary reason you bought this rifle...I know for certain it is the reason some of us coveted it...I also hope you get some relief from the airline but it will be very very difficult to replicate...
Mine is not a big deer for Kentucky...go to the Kentucky Hunting Forum...those guys are posting some real hogs...Kentucky has been in the top 5 states for B&C deer for several years now...lots of reasons for that but the primary reason is we have a one buck limit...
We do, also, put out a few...
I was using Hornady 140 gr BTSP...that rifle loves Hornadys...
Hope my using different ammo doesn't upset the folks at Nosler...I use 140 gr Nosler Accubonds in my 6.5x55 and used that in Wisconsin this year...
Cheers/big
Actually the deer ran about 30 yards and died in some bushes behind and to the right of that oak...a pretty strong storm last year was the cause of that tree's demise...
As for the 270...I am real pleased with it...this is the second deer I have taken with it but I also have a Weatherby 270...
Got this fellow about 0715 this morning
I had never seen him prior to this morning...weighed about 210 on the hoof...one shot with the pre 64 270...he only ran 30 yards before crashing...easy recovery...

Sako 85 in 6.5 Swede...just bought a couple boxes of HMS Berger VLD 140 Gr...gonna hit the range today to check them out...if they don't work out, will use Nosler 140 Gr ABs...
Weatherby 270 with 140 Gr ABs...
Cheers/bg
Where are you?
SHORT POLITICAL QUIZ
So, you think you know where you stand, politically. Think again. The result from this
short test may surprise you and give you some food for thought..
You'll be asked just 10 questions, and then it instantly tells you where you stand...
That is a fine looking/shooting rifle...if you don't mind my asking, which model Tika is it?...lite or heavy barrel?...how was the recoil?...
Thanks/bg
