Top 5 Weatherby Cartridges

In This video I go over my personal favorite Weatherby cartridges. Hope you enjoy the video!

Thanks for the vid. I don’t give weatherby enough attention since they don’t have the chamberings I prefer, but they make great rifles.

Love the Weatherby lineup. I own 3 of the 5 you've mentioned, plus I have a 338-378 in place of the 340. I think the 240 is another one that is underrated. For a 6mm, it is quite a little power house. Thanks for the video. Excellent as always.

I have a 6.5-300 and I love it best 6.5 ever

[erictiry]

Great list. I agree that the 300 is about as good as it gets. The 257 is so underrated. I have used it more for the last three years and just absolutely love how it anchors game.

I agree that the 257 Wby is very underrated. It is a true mice to moose cartridge in my book at the right distances. I also am a 300 Bee fan.

I've had my left handed Mark V Lazermark in .300 WBY since 1983 (I bought it new at Weatherby in South Gate, CA) . I love it so much I just might request to be buried with it. One of the things I like about the .300 WBY is you can upload or download your reloads for specific game or hunting conditions. Very versatile without having to have an arsenal of hunting rifles in your gun safe. The recoil isn't that bad, so I ordered mine without a muzzle brake as a lot of guides (at least back then) won't take on clients with muzzle braked rifles.

I have had the 30-378 the 300 an 257 weatherby mag . I like them all I really like the 257. Great on white tail .

[jamesbromstead]

Thanks for the video... big fan of the 300 Wby Magnum.
Looking forward to your future videos.

I have a 240 weatherby mag and 257 weatherby mag as well, I have both the speed and the take down for coyotes and deer.

Great vid and channel, like the line up . I have the 6.5/300, 270wby, 7mmwby, 300wby, and 340 wby. I would hate to choose one if I did it would be a toss up between the 300 wby or 340 wby . They are beast and very versatile

[WilliamStihl]

Love your picks i have a 300wby mag and its is bad ass I want to get a 257wby mag as my next rifle !!!!

[johnhester]

I use the .270 Weatherby Mag, and it is the best shooting round I have ever used. I once took a 250 pound feral hog from about 200 yards. Entered the chest slightly on its left side, when it came out, it took the entire right rear ham with it. It dropped instantly. Used the 140 grain Nosler bullet. Any rifle after this will be something in Weatherby Mag!

[dolanschmidt]

I have a 257, 6.5 300 and a 300 love all three

Great video, Weatherby rifles and calibers are great.

[goldmedals]

My main hunting rifle is a 300 RUM, 26" barrel, 180 grain Nosler Accubond. Using 95.0 grains of Reloader 25 my magnetospeed reads 3400 avg fps. I imagine a 28" barrel might get me 3475ish fps. The RUM matches the 30-378 for velocities with a touch less powder with no belt on the case.

[ScottGostick]

I like what they've done with the 6.5 RPM. Nice to finally see something beltless. It won't ever go anywhere though since you can get virtually the same performance in a short action with the 6.5 PRC.
For me I think I would have the 270 on the list over 6.5-300, but the 6.5 is truly a stand alone in its class.

[marksanford]

Well done! Love my Wby’s! I call’m Hammers... one and done!💥

[vannmann]

Picking up my 300 Weatherby Magnum tomorrow

[bustabass]

Love all of Wby Magnum calibers and rifles. As a handloader for thirty years, I've pretty much got all of the bases covered. Took an off hand shot at a nice mulie in Wyoming last month about two hundred yards away. The .257 Wby did it's job, but due to operator error, did not recover the buck. Lost the blood trail.😖

[garyalleman]

I saw Mark V in .257 with a Loupold scope at a pawn shop last week and was very tempted.
