I’ve found every time I’ve gone to the Arken website, and there’s one I want bad, and I also talked my brother into buying one (he bought the same exact one you mounted on this rifle), but I’ve found every time I’ve gone there so far, they’ve already had 25% off as it is. Wish I could also use this code then I wouldn’t hesitate getting the EP5 I want.

Maybe next time you shoot groups run it over the chronograph and see what kind of velocities you are getting. Thank you sir. Stay safe out there.

I must have been reading too many ballistic charts , if I remember correctly there is a cartridge called the 7.82 Warbird which is supposed to be just a touch faster than the 30-378 Weatherby recording velocities around the 3700 fps with a 150 g bullet , I've just done a quick google search and apparently it uses "undersize plated bullets so is probably more of a target rifle that and Elk or Moose gun . Still plenty of power in the 300 Weatherby and for a first time out with it I think those are pretty good groups and I'm sure the Elk won't notice the difference between a .5" and a .8" group . Thanks WTW , catch You next time , Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well.

The 300 Weatherby has great long range power and flat trajectory, but it kicks like a mule and has serious blast. Most people can't handle it. That's why Roy Weatherby preferred the 270 Weatherby. He even used it in Africa on all sorts of plains game, as well as on everything in North America.

I found some of the factory 300 Weatherby rounds are cheaper than the Rem Core-lokts. Mine liked the 180gr TTSX, which are about the most expensive. Took the stock off because it broke the ejector. Had to send the Swarovski that came on it back to them too. The magnification adjustment was stuck. They fixed it for free. Hopefully It'll shoot the cheaper rounds the best when I get it back together.

Of course, it has the Meateater Vortex scope on it. Was looking at the same scope you have for my 300 Wby. I also picked up the new Weatherby Model 307 (Meateater Edition) in 7mm PRC. Not sure which scope, but thinking of getting another Vortex LHT 4.5-22 Mil.

300 Wby Mag is my favorite elk cartridge. I favor the 175 Federal Terminal Ascent, 180 Swift Scirocco II, and 180 Nosler Partition. Norma/ Weatherby Brass, RL 26 (if you can find it), Federal 215M. I built my rifle with a 24” barrel on a Mark V Action. Rifle is sub 1/3 MOA (5 shot group). 1st cold will go from 3,276 (175 Federal Terminal Ascent); (3,254 Nosler Partition); (3,206 Swift Scirocco II). It has never failed exit. It has gone thru both shoulder ball joints, and ribs of a 6X6 bull elk & both shoulder 3/4 scapula shot on a Orxy/Gemsbok). Phenomenal Cartridge. I carried a 300 Win Mag for years. Still love them. However, you don’t have to push the Weatherby to high pressure to get the exceptional performance. Don’ t be surprised if the Remington Ammo chronographs slower than either the Weatherby or Norma factory ammo. Has to with brass thickness and working pressures. Other ammo manufacturers usually load Weatherby Cartridges down due to some non- Weatherby rifles were chambered without the freebore. This protects them legally.

So, you change seating depth to be a little better and do your ladder test and get to the charge weight that has the least amount of change in MV or point of impact.
