Just drop in their tracks… Sometimes with those 300’s I punch right through their Ribs. Shoulder! I’ve had some to drop and some to run. I shoot em all in the same spot I’ve been shooting em in for years now. Shot placement argument for me doesn’t get it. And to those who wanna say that a 300 is overkill.I have several 30-06’s, 270’s couple of 25-06’s 6.5 you name it… They look great in my safe.
But it’s weatherby for me all day every day. No slight to any of the other amazing companies out there. At whatever range you can accurately shoot. Or if your the type of person who doesn’t wanna go wondering through the woods looking for your kill. If you’re the kind of hunter who doesn’t like wounding animals, or if your the type who wants clean one shoot kills and no meat damage. I always tell her you get what you pay for. My wife teases me that I have as much money in ammo as some people have in rifles. Man I’m telling ya I’m in love… These things are bad to tha bone. I sent Some of mine to weatherby a few years ago and had all of my triggers set to 3 pounds. Or when I wanna show out in front of my friends… When I take the custom shop 5 panel everyone wants to put their hands on it. I use my 5 panel when I’m sitting a stand. Just Dead Right There! I use my lightweight 300 when I’m walking the bean fields or still hunting. Little hole about the size of a fat first grader pencil. 180 grain noslers and deer can’t take it. Topped it with a Swarovski 3.5 x 18 x 44…. 243 CFP, 240, 257, 7 mag, (2) 300’s a 30-378, (2) 340’s…… One of my 300’s is a lightweight and the other is a deluxe five panel in outstanding shape, custom shop rifle… Against my friends best advice I took it to an outstanding gunsmith and had a break installed on it. Since then, I’ve purchased and traded around 11 Mark V weatherby’s. LORDS WILL! Once I bought that used Accumark I was totally hooked. I had promised myself that if I ever got to where I could afford one I would buy myself one……. I’ve been shooting Weatherby rifles now for 20 years… Bought my first one as a college graduation gift to myself. While most other gun manufacturers have changed ownership through the years, Weatherby is still privately run, and has not lost focus of Roy Weatherby’s original “vision”. What more could you want for medium / big game hunting? When Weatherby makes their famous statement, (Nothing shoots flatter, hits harder, or is more accurate….), it’s not a marketing gimmick- My experiences are living proof. My response is that we’re shooting the SAME bullet, mine is just moving faster (500 feet/sec faster!), and at 200 yards, has 1,100 more lb/ft of energy! It also drops 30 inches LESS at 500 yards. “Overkill for Whitetail”- So many folks that make this comment shoot a 30-06. Yesterday I put 3 shots inside of a quarter-sized area (~1/2-MOA)!! This gun with Weatherby ammo is more repeatable than I am! If you miss, you can’t blame the gun / ammo! He recently bought a Mark V in 300 WBY MAG, and sighted it in with the same round.Īccuracy- What I can do to a 200 yard target is mind-boggling! I’m sighted in at 200, and every year prior to taking it hunting, I’ll go to the range just to “make sure” it’s still zeroed.
He dropped it first shot! He said that he’d never had tried that shot with his 30-06. He saw one elk on his trip – A 6×6 broadside at 485 yards. I offered to let him borrow my Weatherby, which he did. He told me that he planned to use his 30-06. Many comment on the cost of ammo, but when I tell them that I’ve NEVER had to take a second shot or follow blood trails, they get quiet quickly.Ī friend of mine was invited to a Colorado elk hunt last year. This thing hits like a sledge hammer, and the Partition bullet doesn’t produce large exit wounds that destroys meat. Shooting the 180 grain Nosler Partition that it was sighted in for, I’ve yet to have a deer take a step after pulling the trigger.
About 3 years ago, I decided to use it for local deer hunting (South Louisiana). Bought my Weatherby Vanguard in 300 WBY MAG about 15 years ago with hopes of an elk hunt in the Northern Rockies – That trip never happened.
