It's always a Weatherby and (almost) always Texans. At least they could shoot.


The two guys that another guide and I guided more than 30 years ago, a father and a son, both had Lazermarks in 340, shooting 275 gr semi-spitzer Speer handloads. I well remember the bullet used in their loads, because they had contacted me before coming to hunt, and asked about it. I had used the 250 gr Speer in my 358 Norma Mag for years, and figured 25 more grains in a smaller bullet certainly wouldn't handicap.

They were from Lake Charles, Louisiana, and could both surely shoot the rifles and the load. That Speer did alright, too.
