I've shot WT with my Sako L691 in 300 Wby. It does the job well. I use 180 gr SP Weatherby brand (Norma). I liked the Federal Premium 165 gr BTSP but they quit making it.

The original Barnes bullets had a copper fouling problem. I've shot hundreds of Barnes TSX and TTSX bullets in my .300 Weatherby and .375 RUM, and have never had any copper fouling problems. My practice bullets for my .300 Wby are 168 gr Hornady BTHPs. They also shoot sub moa out to 400 m. I would not hesitate to hunt deer with them. I've never seen a big game animal at 800 yds that I couldn't sneak to at least half that distance for my shot. Most of the time if I see an animal at 400 yds that I want to shoot, I'll sneak to half that distance and make my shot. But I'm not on TV trying to sell a long range shooting system. |
