Seems like you could add a S/S Hummer and 22LR,set up same and prolly connect more than a few dots by default. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q90/921/dMN3t6.jpg) Latch trimmin',light massagin',trigger tweakin' ala the usual. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q90/921/iCRpTa.jpg) Prolly time to go gun a hasty zero and run things through come-ups,so as to corroborate DOPE.

I won’t ever hunt mule deer with mine again. Simply put, its the finest antelope cartridge out there, it wasn't designed to handle big bucks in rut. When I look at the limitations of the 243 as a big game cartridge, the path to improvement is not "more velocity".

It's just a skinnier .25/06, except the ammo costs a LOT more. Whatever you'd do with the .25, you can do with the .24. This........unless you gotta have the Weatherby name to toss around in social circles. Years ago, was all set and cash in pocket.to buy a MK V UL in .240. Then I looked at the ballistics compared to the 25-Oh. With similarly loaded 100 grainers, there's less than 2 inches of drop difference between the .240 and the .25-06 at 700 yards. Wasn't near enough advantage .240 to cause me to assume the negatives over a good old .25-06.

I had a Mark V 240 Ultralightweight, it was fun to shoot and not a bad score for 600 bucks. Sold it for gas money to move to Montana. Did not take a loss on it lol. Picked up a 25-06 down here with no regrets.

The seller came to her senses however.

Oldelkhunter: First off DO NOT believe or give any credence to anything "small twig" (or dipstick or what ever he calls himself!) writes or utters!
He is an imbecile with an ego gone berserk!
Years ago I wanted a custom Rifle in a high performance (wind bucking - flat shooting) caliber for my twice yearly (once to Montana and once to Wyoming) Antelope/Mule Deer Hunts.
I settled on the 240 Weatherby cartridge - and have been happy as a clam ever since - both with its accuracy and lethality!
My 240 Weatherby custom was built on a pre-64 Model 70 action and has a 27" Hart stainless barrel.
Not only is this cartridge/Rifle an Antelope killing machine it has also harvested several Mule Deer along with numerous Coyotes and a few ultra-long range Rock Chucks!
Back when I was planning this Rifle and deciding on a caliber a couple of my friends tried to deride the radiused shoulder case of the 240 Weatherby as being "non-conducive" to attaining the necessary accuracy.
My first trip to the range proved them wrong!
I have a Leupold 6.5x20 variable on my 240 Weatherby and for my uses it is simply perfect!
I have been extremely impressed with the flat shooting, wind bucking, light recoiling and accurate 240 Weatherby cartridge and highly recommend you find and maintain a place your Rifle will "fit" in your long term arsenal.
Some decades ago I had a friend who owned a ranch in eastern Montana and he bought a Weathery Mark 5 in 240 Weatherby for Antelope, Mule Deer and Coyotes Hunting - eventually over the years (with different bullets) he harvested several Elk with it as well.
Enjoy.
Hold into the wind

I bought a used Accumark in December as a backup bean field rifle. I have put 60+ rounds thru it since then. It weighs 7.3 lbs(bare rifle) with a pretty decent barrel contour. It's probably the most consistently accurate rifle I have ever owned. When I took it hunting I purchased 2 boxes of WB barnes 80 TTSX, shoots them like no tomorrow, have shot 100 grain I guess hornady factory loads as well. . Who owns one and what type of game have they taken with it? Its so light and handy thinking Mule Deer and antelope out west, Whitetail where rifles are allowed.
I've owned two. An Accumark and a Vanguard S2. Both were extremely accurate. As I'm not a 6mm shooter as a rule, both ended up following someone else home. The Accumark with 80 gr. Nosler Partitions, with correct bullet placement, was a hammer on hoglets at the ranges I shoot. ![[Linked Image from i38.photobucket.com]](https://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/DSC00895.jpg) ya!

I did not mean to imply that with my post. I've loaded and hunted with..... 6 x 45. 6 x 47 (x2) 6mm BR Remington 243 Win 6mm-284, 240 Weatherby. Ive killed stuff with all of them with no problem. For me its more about the terrain where I hunt, and the fact that I'm a meat hunter. I prefer two large leaky holes caused by tough bullets at moderate velocity. If I have to track, expecially at night, I want a blood trail a blind man can follow and I like to be able to eat right up to the bullet hole. I have found that small diameter/frangible bullets typically do not give me the blood trail I desire should the critter not be DRT, and those at magnum velocities do a bit more meat damage than suits me. ya! GWB
