I have a young friend (Marine) on his way overseas, not sure where, it's top secret. However, I have an early 80s' model Weatherby chambered in the 300 Win. Mag. (long action), which I want to give him, it has a 3X9 Leoupould scope . I want to load him a couple of hundred rounds for Elk Hunting. Would/can some of you recommend a load for this rifle (26 in barrel) and kicks like a 5 legged mule.

May be a 24 inch barrel, will have to check. My only request to him is, go elk hunting, I was never able, Maybe I want to live thru him, but want him to have a hunt of a life time, and I don't know when that time will come for him.

Don't get into any arguments over this, please, just some suggestions that I can handload for him.

Sincerely,
Dane
