My first Mark V
« on: October 27, 2021, 04:36:49 PM »
Well guys I got my first Mark V its a accumark chambered in 340 weatherby and holy hell it's an angry gun and I love it its shooting an 1in at 100 and 1 3/4 in at 200 ( no break in period ) the recoil isn't really bad at all. With the muzzle break on it feels like a 338 win mag. Next time I go to the range I'm gunna try it without the muzzle break on it

Way to go getting a .340 wby. I think you will be surprised at just how the recoil isn't bad. Well I find the recoil without brake just fine.
What ammo are you running through it?

I bought 6 boxes of ammo I got 250gr 200gr and 210gr and so far it likes them all. I wanna try 225gr but I think im sticking with the 250gr I like a heavy bullet. I have a vanguard in 300wby and I don't know how much trigger time that gun will get now that I have a 340wby.

Looks like you have a good supply to see what your rifle likes. I think none of your other rifles will get a run now that you have a great do all caliber  ;D
