Live2Hunt941: My two favorite Weatherby cartridges are the 224 Weatherby Magnum and the 240 Weatherby Magnum.
MANY years ago I decided I needed a "walking Varminter" and I chose a German production Weatherby MK-V in 224 Weatherby Magnum - it has been one of my favorite Rifles/cartridges ever since.
Accuracy and flat trajectory are just a couple of reasons why.
Then I decided I needed a LONG range Rock Chuck, Coyote and Antelope Rifle and I had a custom Rifle in 240 Weatherby Magnum built on a pre-64 Winchester Model 70 action.
My 240 has a 27" heavy stainless Hart barrel and its accuracy can only be described as excellent!
All of the rumors and innuendos I had heard about lack of accuracy and poor brass life with these two Weatherby cartridges have long since been disregarded.
Hold into the wind
