You won't regret that one, my friend. I'll be trying out a cartridge that I have often thought of testing. Ordered a Weatherby Vanguard S2, chambered for 240 Wby mag. Also sent for three boxes of Barnes 80 grain TTSX loads for same. They claim 3500 fps for that little pill. If all goes well, we gonna see how it works.




From what little I’ve got to shoot the rifle I think you’re correct. It is quite accurate and handles nicely.


I looked at the Vanguards but I wanted to test drive a Tikka. The 240 should be devastating on whitetails and hogs.


You can load 140 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips over 43 grains of Varget and make deer BAD sick.
