240 Weatherby

[Kevan]

Anyone out there playing with a 240 Weatherby ?
I'm not looking for load details, would just like to get an idea of what works best for bullets before I go shopping.
Any info seriously appreciated.

Both the 80 gr TTSX and the 85 gr TSX shoot Well out of my WVG 240 - 54 grs H4831 Fed 215 M sparker ! RJ

H4831 SC with 87gr VLD

 

[Why not?]

Never mind the 240 Wby. I just bought your old 308 Norma Mag from your son!

How about the loads for it?

Thanks Ted, I will have to check my load notes but if I remember correctly it was fond of the 200 gr. bullet regardless of make.

What twist in the barrel? How far do you plan to shoot? If it is a 1 in 10" twist you might want to try a Berger 88 gr High BC FB Varmint.

It has a 10" twist.

I would get the 80 ttsx to shoot and be done. Works well in my 10 twist 243 ai. For plinking the 100gr corelock shoot great as do the 95 btip and classic Berger. 100gr btsp from hornady left oval holes and wouldn't stabilize.

Hey buddy, I have never had a 240 Bee, but several 6-284s. Mine were all 1-9 Remington barrels though so I doubt anything I would have would be relevant. Mine did really like 95 gn Nosler BTs.......killed 3 caribou with them, worked like a charm.

I agree. In my 308NM Schultz & Larsen, that's the bullet weight I've had my best results with on paper. Specifically with the Sierra 200gr BT.
