Good evening to you sir, hopefully the Saturday treated you well.

So unless I'm missing something here, what you are talking about is a .340 Weatherby is it not?

The case length for both is pretty close - 3.563" for the .340 and 3.6 on the nose for the H&H case.

Anyway, if memory serves I think that I've yet to fire a .340 Weatherby, but did have a .338 Win Mag for a half dozen years before I had it rebarreled into a .308 Norma.

There's no flies on the .338" bullets and if you're heading north to chase the big critters then they'd be a perfect match for each other.

Hopefully that was useful information to you sir and all the best to you this weekend.
