Thanks guys for all the info.
Still undecided however your info has helped a lot in painting the right picture.
It's now a question of whether or not my shooting ability is upto the capability of the 338/378 round,
Or if what I'm trying to acheive is perfectly achievable with what I have.

240 Weatherby Thoughts and Experiences

(8 posts)

I am thinking about re-barreling a Remington 700 BDL to a .240 Weatherby.Â I have plenty of larger calibers for bigger animals, so I'm thinking about using it for antelope, deer, and maybe the occasional coyote.Â This isn't an alternative to any other caliber - I have calibers to fill just about any niche; this cal...

I own a Mark V Stainless Lightweight in 240. I have bagged several whitetails with it and NONE required a second shot. I use handloads with the Nosler 95 gr. Bal-Tip bullet and the now discontinued Speer 105 gr. Spitzer. IMO the 240 is a great cartridge for deer sized game and besides that it was Roy's last cartridge development which to me ma...

The accurate 9.3 Mauser

(9 posts)

Well, the 9.3x62mm Mauser is a lot more accurate than what it might have to be, but the former is better than the latter in this case.
I was working up loads to see if anything had signs of pressure, even though I was going under Hodgdon's limits for the 270gn Speer bullet with H-4350 powder. I think I've found a good load! ...

10-4 on the RL22 being heat sensitive.I only use Hodgdon Extreme powder when available.H4350 covers a lot of calibers.Give me H4350,H4895,and H1000 and I can reload everything I have from .20 cal to 375.

Weatherby PA-08 barrels

(15 posts)

I looked online on Weatherby's site and couldn't find the barrels for sale separately anywhere. I have a PA-08 Upland that I'd like to buy a short 18"(or 18.5", whatever it is) barrel for and use it as both my hunting gun and my HD gun. Weatherby makes the PA-08 receiver with a short barrel option so they have t...

Unable to obtain a shorter barrel in Scandinavia for the PA, I had it shortened to just above the legal limit (in Norway) to 42 cm, 16,5 inches. My plan is to use it in dense bush/forest, deer hunting. I fitted Williams rail sights on it. Using rifled slugs it remains accurate up to 50 meters so its more than up to the job. It,s a no nonsense inexp...

Wildcats and obscure cartridges

(13 posts)

We've probably seen a cartridge that fits the "totally-new-to-me" category, maybe even thought about getting a rifle in such for such a cartridge, and wondered if it is accurate, fast, or requires some kind of strange process to get ammo.

I recently went through something like this when I was exploring options for the reba...
