Thanks Paul, You know, the .300Wby has always been my favourite of all the .300 magnums – and I have previously owned one before, in a Weatherby Vanguard. But I traded the Vanguard for a Winchester M70 stainless synthetic in 270WSM (which was awesome btw), but a year or two later, I saw the...

I actually think that's really poor conduct – and if that's how Midwest shooting school operates, it's not a range I'd be giving my money to...

Hey, Thanks for all the replies. (y) Just a quick side note, I wasn't promoting or endorsing muzzle brakes in my post. It was more the fact that in all the years I have been shooting, I have never fired a rifle with one fitted. Not even a friend's or colleague's rifle, and I was shocked at...

I think it was a deluxe, but the previous owner butchered it! He had an accident years ago and damaged his shooting eye, so he had to modify all his rifle stocks so he could shoot with his other eye. He told me it was the nicest stock he'd ever seen! :ROFLMAO: Russ

Hey, Well, after over 35 years of shooting/hunting, I have finally fired a rifle fitted with a muzzle break for the first time. The rifle was a Weatherby MkV chambered in .300 Weatherby Magnum, and this just happens to be my dream rifle, a rifle that I never actually thought I'd ever own. It...

All good Doug, not getting worked up or anything, I just don't want someone buying a rifle like this and thinking it doesn't kick. In fact, in shooting big-bores (.458's, .375Wby, etc...) for 25 years, this is the only rifle that I've felt it's recoil in the field while shooting at game... Russ

And I agree, mate; I'd feel comfortable shooting anything with it with confidence (y)

No it doesn't mate, it's a sub-9lb rifle shooting a 400gn bullet at over 2300fps for over 65ft/lbs of recoil... and it kicks exactly like you think it would... a LOT

No mate, the 425 isn't going anywhere. I have it set up just perfect. (y) Once again, a 360gn Atomic29 projectile fired at 2500fps will do anything I ever need... And it's not little...

Have decided to run with the 480gn Woodleigh's. (y) My usual load shoots accurately, gets good speed, and feeds well and I think a 480gn at 2125fps for 4800ft/lbs will be enough for anything I encounter... :)(y)

That's the direction I'm heading mate... Going to buy a box, and if they shoot well, I'm going to give them a try... Russ

Whoa! That is an insane price! o_O I heard the A-Frames are good – but at that price they would want to be very, very, very good! Russ

Sarg, How would you rate the 480gn Woodleigh’s as far as killing power goes on buffalo, scrub bulls, etc… I have loaded up a few to get the rifle sorted and I’ve used them before, but I have been tossing up between them, or the Atomic 29 450gn copper hollow points. The Woodleigh’s are getting...

It’s always been a dream of mine too. Hopefully next year or the year after… I think it will be so cool to have one of Bob’s rifles back up there taking care of business…

Sarg, Thank you so much for your input... it is very much appreciated! I do have a question for you though... what projectiles did you load in the .458s? I have an old shooting magazine in my collection from many years ago, where Bob Penfold did a story on the original Barnes X bullet. The...
