I have a .300 WBY that I use for deer hunting. I know that it is a little overkill, but it was a gift from my Dad and thats why I stick with it. What brand and round do you suggest. The deer in my area are up to 225 lbs. and the farthest that I would shoot would be 300 yds. and that would be rare! I have currently been using Wby. brand in 165 gr. ballistic tip, but I am not satisfied with the accuracy that I get. Any help would be appreciated!!!!!

I own a SAKO Hunter in 300 Wby. and shot the Wby. brand ammo. in 180gr. bullet until I had enough brass to begin reloading. I also tried the 165gr. bullets and found I got better accuracy with the 180's. I think that the 180gr. bullet stabilizes better and definetly performed better for me.

I think the cartridge is a fine one. It's the rifle that's the issue. Every rifle has some bullets that it shoots better than others. I really think you need to find the bullet that matches your rifles likes. Try some different weights. I know it's expensive to experiment with Weatherby ammo but this might be your only method. That is, after you make sure everything is clean and tight on the rifle first.

My .300 Weatherby shoots 180gr bullets with a lot more accuracy than 165gr bullets also...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
