Default Next Years Rig
My wife got me this for Christmas and I have spent the last two months getting it set up. I am working on some handloaded 180 gr. SSTs I have shot one .577" group so far but I am still working on consistancy.

Weatherby Vanguard 300 Wby Mag
Burris 3x9 40mm
Talley Medium Mounts

Very Nice, Very Nice, sounds like the 180 grain is the bullet to shoot in that. Whats the velocity with that load?

I don't have a chrono right now but my guess is between 3150 fps and 3200. I haven't reached max yet so I have a few more rounds to try that I am sure will take me over 3200 fps.

Very nice setup. Is that the Vanguard Deluxe or the Sporter? If it's the less expensive Sporter version, it's got some pretty decent wood on it for a rifle in that price class.

Very nice looking gun. Why a 3-9x40 on that thing?

haha I can barley tell a buck from a doe at 400 yards on 10 power with my Nikon Monarch.

I guess you go have the binoculars though. I didn't think about that. It's not very practical for me to carry them around with me.
