Rifles / 300WBY Ultra Lightweight
« on: February 12, 2019, 05:45:34 PM »
I recently acquired a 300WBY in a Ultra Lightweight version.  From what I can gather it is a first generation UL, as it has a stainless fluted barrel, matte black action, grey/black stock. Upon receiving it I noticed the barrel seems to rub the stock more on one side than the other. I assumed it had been improperly torqued. So i removed the barreled action from the stock and was going to re-torque the screws, when i noticed there is two pressure points in the barrel channel, and "no bedding" around the recoil lug. 

My accumark has bedding material around the recoil lug, so does my "accuguard"

any thoughts on bedding the recoil lug, and the pressure points on the stock?

Rifles / South Gate

This topic may has been answered 1,000 times already, however I’m fairly new to Weatherby Nation and have a few “bees” and am looking at another.

I’m looking at a mark V with “South Gate” in the receiver. I was just curious of years of production that would say “South Gate”

Rifles / 338-378 accumark
« on: February 01, 2019, 12:22:00 PM »
New to the forum. New to weatherby rifles.
Saved up lots of coins. Bought a weatherby 338-378 accumark.
Warne 20moa base
Leupold 8.5-25x50 LRP

Broke in the bore according to the weatherby instructions.
Started working handloads

Will not group. I am a serious reloader and shooter. My 7mm rem mag, 300 win mag, 308 win and 257 weatherby all shoot MOA or below.
This thing looks like a shot gun pattern. Please help.

270 grain Hornady Eldx over retumbo

270 grain hornady ELDX over h1000


Tried the 270 grain over magpro (which I use in the other 3 magnums)

3” at 100. Off atlas bipod and rear bag and concrete table.

The 285 hornady eld-match and h1000 will get close to 1”.


Called weatherby. Not much support. Said they would call me back March 1

Any help appreciated.
