- Thread starter mike t
- Start date
6.5 CMs loaded to normal brass life pressure are all with in normal FPS for that powder capacity of cartridge !
It’s Not a 6.5x55 or a 6.5x284 or a 6.5 PRC . ! But it does GREAT for its Size . JMO RJ

So why even bring it up then?
Seems to me that you're the type of guy always looking for an argument.
Don’t start with that SH*T AJ - I just asked him WHY ? he changed out and all I got was a BS answer and I don’t think it involved you did it ?
So who’s looking for an argument ? RJ

If I buy a rifle that comes with a brake, the brake comes off and stays off, my Christensen Traverse changes the point of impact 3" at 100m when the brake is taken off. That is why I buy a non braked version if one is available. As far as the stock is concerned, I prefer fiberglass over plastic, which is why I liked the Vanguard MOA.
I have a B&C and a HS Precision. I prefer the HS in reality
As for taking the Brake off? Yes I get that’s an option but I couldn’t understand why WBY didn’t stick to 26” length w/the Brake on as opposed to 28” in length they are offering.
Because Weatherby wants their cartridges to produce published velocities, which requires a 26" barrel. So add 2" for the brake, and you have 28".

Drinking again are we?
And are you going to ### this post too?
FWIW
I received my Howa 1500 Hogue in 243 from a site sponsor (PR) overall it looks fantastic didn't think I would like the Hogue stock but it quickly grew on me (no need to replace it) I will be going to the range after work today to sight in the rifle with 55 grain Winchesters. Then will go again on Saturday to confirm (bullet drops at) 100 and 200 yards. I did borescope the barrel and gave it a good cleaning a quick email to Legacy Sports confirmed that the production date on it was 9/26/23. I will not be breaking in the barrel since it isn't button riffled it looks very good with no chatter what-so-ever. For those that know I did own a 240 Wby which I sold because ammo was hard to come by and I didn't want to invest any money into reloading because it's hard to find reloading componets.
I hope my post is enough to stop the member bashing although I enjoy reading the dialoge.

I had a Wby Vanguard 2 in 243. It was one of those models from the 2010s with the non-griptonyte stocks, I think it was fibreglass of sorts. That thing was incredibly accurate up to 100gr bullets. Probably the only rifle I regret selling! The best loads I came up with were 85gr BTHP Sierras on 35.5gr of IMR4064...pretty common to get sub-1/2" 3 shot groups at 100. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Because of the sporter-weight barrel, it shot best if you took your time with 1-2 minutes between shots so it didn't heat up too much. 243 is kind of a magnum round, if you look at it. Great rifles and a great cartridge.

It's is going to be my long range coyote gun - I will be confirming my zero with a cold bore shot since the first shot placement is critical. I did notice that when I have my Wby S2 in 223 (regretted selling it) the fourth shot would always be a flyer when I shot without waiting for the barrel to cool down. Thanks for the tips
Except even factory ammo tends to be slower from a Tikka than other rifles of same barrel length. This has been pretty well documented by shooting over chrony. Googling "Tikka slow barrels" brings up a lot of interesting reading on it.
Maybe it isn't always the case...but it does seem pretty regular.
