Loaded up some 300 grain accubonds in my 340 today and took it to the range. Used a max load of 7828 ssc at 79.5 grains and shot for groups at 100. First two holes cut into an oval and the third was just a touch apart, right around 1/2 inch. Kinda surprising for the weatherby, but I was happy. Then ran them through the chrono, and surprise surprise, they are clocking at 2700 fps! I didn't believe it so I shot another one, and it also was right there. That is book listed max lapua speeds! Looks like the elk will be in trouble... gotta find a good ridge...
Anybody else shoot the 340?
