Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles .340 Wby Loads?

Anyone have any favorite .340 Weatherby Mag loads? I'm looking to use 250gr Hornady RN bullets. Stocked on Weatherby brass and 300Wby brass I'm necking up to .338 with an expander. CCI250mag primers. Powder can be acquired if needed. I'm not looking to blow up this old rifle either.

Here is a list I used in my .340 Mark V Weatherby. Rel 22 is a very good fit as is H 4831. I would also recommend the newer Rel 23 and R26 if starting fresh.
WMR was very good but no longer made and is supposed to be temperature sensitive, though there was no such thing in Oz where hunting temps were usually between 40-70 F.

I duplicated factory velocity but got a little better accuracy with IMR7828 @ 92 grains using the Partition 250. The velocity averaged 3,025 feet per second.
