Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 300 weatherby grouping

tryed working on my budys 300 weatherby this last 2 days make all kinds loads had one shot a inch group at 100 yards. then never could agin. nothing shoot good outa it any ideas??? ever grain .5 grain seems to shoot just under 2 inch no mater what even tryed berger bullets

168 TSXs shoot well in mine with a moderate load of R-22. Mine's a Vanguard.

ive tryed 150 nosler btips horndy interlocks bergers and cople others in 165 and 168 nothin shoot good so far. lookin for other powders. idk i think the gun just dosnt shoot good how many grains u use i forund 82.5 to shoot the best with 168grainer

Yup, that's what I use, 82.5 R-22 and a 168.

Mine prefers 7828 and 180s of any flavor. I've gotten very good results with the 168 TSX and RL19, IMR4831 and IMR4350. It's a Mark V and not very picky.

I had a Vanguard and 7828 and 4350 with 18os were the go to, it shot the Wby 180 factory load sub moa with boring regularity.

What's the rifle?

try 7828 and 200 gr accubonds...

Have no idea what make and model ones rifle might be, but the first thing I do with my Weatherby's is float the barrel.

its weatherby vanguard ya hes goign to float the barle and bed ation. i mostly used 7828 hes wanting to stay with liter bullets anit my gun trying to help a budy out

ya im goan try and find some fatory load i had for my 300. try them out see what they do in it. nothing has shot great ever bullet pretty much shoot 1.5 to 2 inch group

English man! I need subtitles.

If a 180 Hornady flat base and either 82 grains of H4831 or 84-85 grains of IMR7828 doesn't do an inch, there's something wrong with the rifle.

sry cant spell to good.

84 grains in 180 grainer?? anit that way over max load

No.

i know 82 grains is max of 168 grainer

I'd look more at the gun/sights and far less at the powder. Bullets, perhaps more so than powder.

Some cheaper guns foul very bad at the throat and sometimes barrel heat and going from one bullet to another hurts the odds....

Hawk has a point. Copper fouling is not a friend for accuracy.

+1
If your gun shoots 2" groups with several loads it needs to have the barrel floated and receiver bedded, otherwise you will never know the accuracy potential.
IMHO chasing load experiments at this point with that rifle is like chasing rainbos.

mine like h4831 and 150gr interlock and 180gr balistic tip with rl22

Mine does very well with rem coreloc 180 believe it or not... very well. But it does even better with fact loads from hornady. 180 gr interlocks.



Rifle is M70 classic, floated barrel with action bed in fact walnut stock.

I can't help you with a hand load & heck this probably don't help you either but this same rifle will throw Fed premium 180 partitions out to a group the size of a pie plate at 100yds.

I stopped looking for improvement after trying these cheap 180 gr interlocks.
