224 Weatherby Mag

That is a beautiful rifle. I bet you will smile every time you handle it. Was it difficult to find brass for it?

Finally I got one.
This now completes my WBY collection. Every caliber made I now own. What is cool is each rifle is in a different configuration. No two are identical. Anyway I put a Zeiss 4.5x14x44 on the VarmintMaster and shot a couple of loads with it this weekend just for feel. The 50 gr Sierra blitz at 3800 fps was ok and the 77 TMK at 3200 fps did about .7" or so.

After I made up the play loads (not serious handloading...... just got the gun that day) I noticed that the bullets can be sat out way past the 2.330" Max COAL of yesteryear. I have to measure the mag box but it is longer than that. Anyway here she is.

Wow Fotis, that wood is beautiful. Very nice rig. Time to do some serious handloading.
