Dave,
That is good shooting. One thing to consider is that most guys can't shoot groups that small with a 300 Weatherby even if the rifle and ammo are up to it.

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? Exactly the same with my ..300 Wby Vanguard!

My Wby. MkV likes 85 gr. of RL22 and 165 gr. Barnes TSX bullets, for 1" groups.

Dave,
That is good shooting. One thing to consider is that most guys can't shoot groups that small with a 300 Weatherby even if the rifle and ammo are up to it. I love that rifle. I've flattened mostly elk with it but I have to confess, I've used the finger of god for a few white tail too. Overkill?  I guess it does tend to "overpenetrate on deer" LMAO!!! Seriously though, I'm so comfortable & confident with that rifle. I was shopping for a 338 when I found that one NIB on accident... no regrets! I'm serious about fed premium 180 NP's though... Pie plate at best. It really does prove that whole deal with "the right load for the right barrel."
Something clever here.

Finally worked up an elk load for my Japanese 26" Mark V. Wound up working up to 84 gr RL22 at 3.58, Fed 215GM and went into 1/2" with 168 gr TTSX.
Elk are going to hate seeing this one in NM in Oct.

Trying factory loads is a good idea. My .257 will shoot just as good or better with factory loads than any of my handloads that I have tried. Have to hock something like my Jeep to buy a box though.

.300 Weatherbys won't shoot worth a crap: Or so some would believe. Mine shoots 1/2 moa with three. That is amazing accuracy you've got there. Mine only took 400 rounds to "come in". But once I hit that magic combination it was celebration from there.
