Waiting on more federal215M primers.
I did shoot it on paper with the factory Ammo @300 yards. Shoots very consistently and seems to be very sub MOA at that range.

Also put it on the 10” steel gong at 550 with that factory Ammo. Calculated the dope, adjusted and rang the steel on first shot at 550 so I am happy.
Also waiting on vith powder to arrive with the F215M primers to try with the accubonds.

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?

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”

Chris338378,
I was shooting the nosler 225 accubond over 109.0 grain of H1000

I have ALWAYS started at the very bottom of the powder scale and worked upwards. However, on this rifle and the results being as they have and no sign or pressure damage to case or primer I went with the 109.0 grain charge as that was nosler’s most accurate load tested and was in the middle ground of the powder scale.

Without the fouling shot, the noslers were still in the neighborhood of 2.5”-3”


I am going to try them over some RL 25

The last group I shot with the Barnes would be a 3 shot group measuring really close to 1/2” without counting the foul shot.


Doug,
I am definitely having some fun now I have found at least one load that it likes. I was starting to believe I had bought the most expensive rifle of my life and would not get it lined out to suit

For some reason that picture is rotated counter clockwise 90 degrees.
Point of impact was horizontal zero,2”-3” left
But I was more focused on group size than POI

Did I read that other post correctly and your using the 200grain accubond

Those things make a lot of sense. My friends sometimes say I over complicate things, they may be correct I just like to make sure I dot the “I’s” and cross the “T’s” small details make big differences the further out and the more powder your burning.

One things for sure,
This weatherby nation group has be very welcoming and I feel at home here already. I think it’s safe to say I will put more weatherbys in the safe after my experiences here.
I did call nosler. They said the accubond LR in 265 only had one production run and were pretty much not obtainable right now. They will produce more of them June/July. As well as a new accubond LR 300gr in July.
They gave me load data for the 250gr accubond. I asked them about seating depths. They acknowledged the freebore, but said regardless the accubond uses a tangent ogive, and likes being seated deep. I will keep you posted. On the outcome.  Thanks again
