A lot of mowing time today gave me plenty of time to ponder possibilities of the new Weatherby cartridge. With nothing more than what I’ve seen on Weatherby Nation and heard from o e guy at a wholesale outlet, a 338 RPM seems to be the top choice. Game wise, it would easily move a big, heavy bullet fast enough for anything in North America. As a lightweight rifle (such as a Ti Backcountry) it would be easy to carry at the high altitudes where elk can be. There is no need to comment on Weatherby’s accuracy. Last but not least, it offers a purpose-built, medium bore chambering / caliber with a fine array of hunting bullets with a high ballistic coefficient.
There it is, my 2 cents worth of Kansas summer heat induced thoughts.
