So I noticed you said you have a .50 cal barrel but shoot a .45 cal sabot. I didn't know you could do that! Learn something new everyday. Pretty rifle! I think he’s referring to a .50 cal sabot with a .45 cal bullet in it. The sabot makes up the other 0.05 cal. Don’t load a .45cal sabot in a .50 cal rifle. I’m guessing it would just fall out if you tipped the rifle forward, along with your powder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunterjohnny Report post Posted March 11, 2019 Considering a Browning BAR in 300 WM that I have never done anything with. But my 270 would be real sad, that said it hasn't brought me luck either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Made in 1942 and carried through Whiskey Whiskey Deuce (European Theatre). This rifle has Nazi's, deer, and elk under its belt. My latest harvest was a 19A Cow. I used 180gr Remington Core Lokt. Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14x50mm scope. I like your style. I will be carrying the same rifle that belonged to my grandpa in 5b. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the gun ever failed me I could take the scope off an beat an elk to death with it. Wish they could squeeze 3-27 out of the ultra short. I ordered a 3-27 ps2 first but it was gigantic. The 3-20 is a little heavier then the 2.5-25 March it replaced but its rock solid. The March had a calling on another classic looking 7STW of mine that needed a better scope! How’s your March working out? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted March 12, 2019 My March 3-24x52 is working great on my lightweight .280AI. I have a 3-20x50 S&B non-US on my 7RM, and just got a S&B 3-20x50 US for my 6.5 SLR I am rebuilding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elkhnter Report post Posted April 27, 2019 Dreamed of owning a Weatherby since I was a kid. Couple weeks ago, I bought a Weathermark in 300 Wby at a RMEF banquet. Mounted a VX 3i 4.4-14x40 on it. Waiting on dies and nice weather to work up a elk load. Looking at using a Nosler AB or Partition. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oz31p Report post Posted April 27, 2019 Ca ridgeline 300wm 5.5-22x50 nf nsx. 215 Berger hybrid. More likely my wife or daughter will use it for elk before I ever do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted May 5, 2019 My dad isn't able to hunt anymore due to his back, so I commandeered his Weatherby Vanguard in 300 Weatherby that sits in the safe. It is to abusive on recoil for fun shooting, so I dropped it off at Axisworks last week. In a few weeks it will be sporting a new muzzle brake, and when I get it back it's old Simmons 44 Mag scope is getting upgraded to a Burris Veracity 3x15x50 FFP scope. I already started brass prep, and hopefully Berger sends me the load data for the 185gr Classic hunters and 210gr HVLD on Monday that I emailed them about. This elk season this 300 weatherby may get the opportunity to put a second cow elk on its record. My dad used it about 20 years ago to take his one and only cow elk in unit 8.
