340 Weatherby load data
« on: December 27, 2024, 09:05:17 PM »
Does anyone have any load data for the 340Wby using a 230gr Winchester Failsafe bullet? I just got my hands on 100 projectiles but can't find load data anywhere. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Although I have never used that projectile I know they are quite solid in build and I suggest using load data for the 250grn Barnes TSX and you could work up from that. Or even the starting load for the 225grn TSX.

I used to run that same bullet in my 338 win and rum .
Win mag load was 73 grains reloader 19
Rum load was 92 grains 7828.
Both shot great but ran out of projectiles. Might wanna look at Barnes data. Good luck
