ORIGINAL: Karm

Try IMR 4350 with Nosler Ballistic Tips, shoots .500" at 300 yards in my Sako customized.

I wished I had a dollar for every person that comes on here and proclaims .50" groups.....(especially at 300 yrds) man I could be rich!!

rh455:

I would call Weatherby at 1 (800) 227-2023, and let them know what is going on. If they don't tell you what ammo they used on the test target, try the following ammo. Federal Premium 150 gr. Sierra Game King, Federal 150 gr. Hi-Shok Soft Point, Winchester 150 gr. Power-Point, or Remington 150 gr. Pointed Soft Point Core-Lokt. Good luck.

You'll only ever fire one Remington cartridge in a Weatherby chamber, even if you live through the experience. [&o]

No, it's a Weatherby gun chambered for Remington 7mm rounds, not Weatherby 7mm rounds.

rh455,
A cheap shot would be to buy another gun. But the better approach might be to look thru various reloading manuals to find a preferred powder with your bullet weight of choice and go from there. I've personally never liked the Weatherby rifles, or their cartridges. But that in no way suggests they either cannot or don't provide great accuracy, and performance. Unfortunately, regardless of any praise I may give Weatherby, the issue remains, how do you obtain your accuracy expectations with your bullet of choice?
I'd recommend you look at all the manuals and powder mfrs recommendations and start there. At least you'd be on the same page of those who have figured out how to make these guns shoot. As an aside,
most folks who own Weatherby rifles have figured out the "magic" recipe.
So you should either be able to do the same or obtain assistance from another who has. I wish you good luck and good shooting.
