26" on an 84L? 6mm 10-twist hamstring instead of 8"? 240 'Bee instead of 6/6.5-06? Proprietary brass instead of Alpha, Lapua or....?

Wow.


Factory ammo is a must, I have reloading equipment but not enough time to do it consistently.

I’d buy 5 boxes of the factory 80 gr. TTSX loads and then save the brass for future work when I started to run low (years down the road)

Weatherby gets their brass from Norma, so it’s good stuff for 5-7 reloads. 6-06, 6.5-06 are out of the equation since I can’t get factory ammo.

Initial 100 rounds, plus 4-6 reloads Comfortably (some report up to 10 on Weatherby brass in their magnums) Will probably last the life of the barrel where I will probably rebore it out to a 35 Whelen and chop it to 21” or something. (That was my original plan with this Gun but I have a 338 federal montana that fills that rule nicely already)
