Weatherby 307 Range XP

Didn’t have time to work up a handload, so this is what $553 worth of ammo looks like. On the upside, I’ll have 100 pieces of high-quality brass to handload with later.

Range time today.

Average of 10rds chrono’ed at 2889fps, with the Silencerco Omega mounted.

This rifle and ammo combo is certainly capable. Here’s 3 rounds at 100yds.

5rds at 200yds:

5 rounds at 400yds. Upper left was first 2 rounds. Made an adjustment down and right, and fired 3 more. The square head on that target is 6”x6”.

With modern manufacturing techniques, it’s amazing what can be done with production-line hunting rifle.

Big shout out to Choice Ammunition! This is phenomenally performing ammo.
 
Getting ready for elk season again. Flying out to Grass Range MT on October 26. Didn’t get drawn for a bull tag, so I bought a cow tag, and also a mule deer tag while I was at it. I really want the elk meat, but I won’t turn down a mule deer buck worth mounting.

Same rifle and suppressor as last year, but I moved a Nightforce NX8 F1 4-32x50mm onto the Weatherby instead of the previous Nightforce NXS Compact 2.5-10x32mm.

The Choice Ammunition shot so damn good, I decided to just buy some more. Headed down to Cool Acres in Swainsboro GA in a few weeks to get some solid dope. I’ll go to a minimum of 600yds, and quite possibly out to 1,000yds.

Elk is so good, I woudnt even care if I shot a bull or a cow! Sure, a nice bull on the wall would be great but elk is better than beef!

Shep why were you running a 2-10 on an essentially a 7mm mag equivalent performance? Good call on the NX8.

It’s a spare scope I had lying around, and I’m fine with a 10x for hunting purposes at quite a bit of distance. I used it for a successful head shot at 400yds, later in the evening, while it was snowing.
