I see they have then here at SCI. Have not looked. Anything in particular you wanted to know? They had one open on display and I could look at it. Bruce
 
I got mine a few months ago. I like it. It has loading for the scirroco bullets that were not in the other one. Anything you are looking for?
 
for one thing, im curious if it has 505 Gibbs load data. they offer the .505" bullets but the 1st edition manual doesn't have any of the 50 caliber cartridges.

Yes they do for 535RN and 570RN A-Frame bullets
 
Powders used are Retumbo, RL25, RL33 and IMR7828. They liked RL33 for the 535gr and RL25 for the 570gr.
 
thanks! sounds like its worth picking up a copy.

Matt, I have one as well. Some new cartridges and new powders, but a lot of the same as well. 505 Gibbs is in there, as others have stated.

Hi Marcus
I'll 2nd limcroma! Booked 2nd trip at SCI last week. Those guys are great. Trying to get hooked up with Peter when he gets to the states if I can break away.

What sling studs do those swivels fit ? They look to be quite a bit wider than the standard modern swivels. They may be just what I need for my Remington 30 Express wide swivel studs. Can you measure the pin diameter ?

Do you know where your .240 Weatherby was manufactured?
