I think a 240 Weatherby would be an ideal open country deer and antelope round. I have used the 243 & 6 Rem. for as long as I have been hunting with no complaints. I just built a fast twist 6mm AI which is close to the Weatherby and it is shooting really well out to 500 with just the CDS rectacle.
Weatherby increased the twist to 9 or 9.25 so should be good for bullets up to 105 grains.

I thought they changed the twist as well but apparently after visiting their website it is still 1-10. Oh Well

My 10 twist .240 does very well with 100 NPT, won’t stabilize 105’s. In fact the 100 NPT is sub MOA over MRP.
I like the .240Wby, especially as a 'coyote to deer/antelope" combo rifle. I know some kill Elk with it, but I can't see myself using it for that. The 240 is my favorite 6mm ( or I should say, that 'speed" with 90-95gr bullets) To my mind, yes, a 25-06 or a 270/110TTSX give it a run for its money. the 257 Wby seems "more better" as a killer, to me.
It fits wherever you want it. You don't need to justify your desires. I like it myself, even though it doesn't best the 6mm Remington that much, it still bests it. So it's still the best of the 6s.

I think in response you're supposed to leave photos of plastic rifles no one cares about arranged in snow or mud, possibly with a children's fishing rig for garnish?
Yeah starting to believe that 24's are just a novelty and a waste of my time.
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!

Thanks for the clarification. I much prefer the 7mm bee , it is a hammer on game although it needs a sturdy bullet to reduce carnage.
Is that dude above you for real? I've never heard anybody on a forum quite as rude. The fact he hasn't been banned tells me he must be kin to the boss or something, LOL!
