Wanted Weatherby Factory Ammo In 338-378 Prefer 225 Nosler Partition

[Markopolo50]

Looking for a couple boxes if anyone has some extras. Or if you know of a place I can buy some.

Thanks

Let me check. I may have 225 barnes ammo. Or brass and bullets. May be 2 boxes. I need the rest for my use.

Wow, that's an interesting cartridge. Bet it leaves my .338 Win Mag in the dust?

 

[Markopolo50]

Yes and it's not mine. A close friend is going after the white bear in Canada soon. He has a box but needs to practice more. Can't find any online....

Thanks in advance krish for checking

It is extremely hard on shoulder with out a muzzle brake. Over 100 ft/lb of recoil

You mean Polar Bear. Then recommended minimum is 375. 416 is better. From what I have read.

Yes, it does have a muzzle brake. And yes Polar bear. I have a Remington 375 ultra mag in SS/synthetic I offered him to take. And he has a 375 flanged double that he took to Africa. I shot my cape buffalo when we were there together. He is pretty much set on the Weatherby.

I think that if it would of been available from the factory when I bought my .340 I would of owned one.

It is quite the round.

I am happy with my 340 than my 338-378. For me 340 is more manageable than the other.

If Weatherby had made a .35-.378, Townsend @Bob Nelson 35Whelen would have probably been all over it like a wallaby on a tomato plant!

@CoElkHunter
Mate wallabies don't like tomatoes ya Muppet.
Why would I want a 358/378 when the Whelen does such a good job.
All that extra powder, recoil and expense for what over practical hunting distances

 

[Markopolo50]

Krish, did you find any ammo?
Thanks

Bob,
Since when have you read much of anything here on AH with regards to "practicality"? You buy a rifle in the largest cartridge you can find in the caliber you want and go hunting! I your case it WOULD be the .358-.378. I don't think even the .358 Norma Magnum would come close?

I will look in the morning after work. I should have barnes 225 x bullet factory ammo not tsx or ttsx. Will that do ?

@CoElkHunter
You can have to much of a good thing tho. I have mellowed with age and don't need anything that will slap me sillier than I already am.
Plain and simple works for me.

 

[Markopolo50]

Krish, he is set on the 225 Nosler partitions. I am sending you a PM

I believe I saw some 338-378 brass at Norma shooting yesterday. It’s not ammo, but a step in the right direction at least

 

[Markopolo50]

Thanks for all the responses on my "wanted" ammo. My buddy is set on his ammunition for the Polar bear hunt. A little light in my opinion, but you know what they say about opinions, HA. He's going the end of May, so I'll report on his success later.
