Thank you very much.

It may well be an early one, it was built in 1998 according to Wby. The only thing I have shot so far is Wby 150 Partition ammo that came w/ the gun. I have a stash of Nosler partition 180's and hope they are as good as the 180 tsx, or I will be getting them forthwith. Odd thing, I read early models wore Mcmillan, but this looks to be a B&C, air voids, etc.

The 5 rds I shot strung them vertically 3", but #'s 2-4 were in 3/4", cooled for #5 which makes a 1/2" using shots 2, 3 and 5. They all are in 3/4" wide, so the pattern is strung verticle and I suspect bedding and shooting too fast for the light barrel.
Just have to wait for the Feds to release her to me......

BTW, is the retumbo load in Wby/ Norma brass? I hear to drop 2 gns if other brass was used.

Thanks again

Allen
