Was switching from much older 150 grain soft point ammo. Got the 130 gr ttsx dialed in with 4 rounds.

Should be good for a couple years with this box.

Anyone have an idea what it would cost to get the barrel threaded for a matching blued muzzle break?

I'd send it back to Weatherby.

That's some solid load data. Here's my pet recipe for the 340 WBY Mag and 250 Nosler Partitions.

87 grains of 7828SSC

How's the recoil on the 340? I found the 300 to be just too nasty.

The 300wby and 30-378wby are really more snappy and sharp recoil, where as I find the 340 to be more of a boomer. If that analogy makes sense.

Damn, I'd take that 257 off your hands if it weren't made for some kind of wrong-handed mutant.

Once your scope is dialed in, a box of ammo for hunting purposes should last a really long time. For me, deer season is 0-4 rounds. The upper end of that range is only if I shoot something in addition to a deer. I think I still have a few rounds of 6mm from the 1980's. So make yourself feel better by considering that your crazy $50 box of ammo ought to last years.

If you're using your firearm at the range regularly and burning through ammo much more quickly, then I can offer no consolation.

6mm Remington? I have one I love to hunt with but can't find ammo anywhere now.

I am interested in the 7 mag or the 257 if available.
