differences between 338 and 340 weatherby
I have a SAKO 340. I enjoy it. I would like to know the ranges of the different amunitions I have for it. I have 250 grain, 210 grain, and 200 grain. All made by Weatherby. Is there another round maker I am unaware of which could satisfy me better when practicing long distance shooting?
Thank you.
Thank you.

225gr tipped TSX @3100 fps!
275gr Swift A-frame (hand load)
250gr Accubond would be pretty nice for long distance, high BC, but the other 2 loads I mentioned would be my go to's for hunting, the 225 tipped for long range and penetration etc...is my goto standard .340 load nowadays. does it all IMO! fast, pretty high BC, and it's a tsx near 100% weight retention
