Why do you feel this way?

Well it seems like every year there is one model less that chambers the 7mm Weatherby. The factory ammo offerings have been reduced. No more 175 gr Interlock. At one point or other the 257-270-300 Wea mags were offered or are still offered in the Vanguard line up. Not so for the 7mm. They offer the 7mm Rem mag with a 9 twist, not so for the 7mm Weatherby. All this adds up to me as an over looked  cartridge. JMO

Couple of things I've noticed gathering my collection of mark v's in wooden stock versions.

270 & 7mm will be on the more affordable side of the scale

they will also be some of the hardest to fine one in good/barley used condition - this point right here tells you what you need to know about these two calibers, they work!

I've noticed that weatherby rifles like my 270wby 340wby and 300wby they like 2 things being shot and they like to be dirty. When I got all my rifles I had the same thing. They shot about 1.2 or 1.5 inch groups but after a range trip or two and just running a dry patch through it they went to a 3/4 to 1in group.

I will try one more time to squeeze out the smallest group I can, but I'll have to wait on an order I placed with https://protektormodel.com, I need to upgrade my sandbag game first. Once that's done, I'll report back.
