Want to buy some .300 WBY

[Marion]

Looking to buy some .300wby mag 180 grain TSX, unfortunately I found a spot in NH that had them for 74 a box, but alas they won't ship to NY. My question is does anyone know where I can get these for a decent price?

Are you near a Cabelas?  The last time I was in one (MA) they had 10+ boxes of 300WBY.

I can head up to the cabelas over in Hartford, my issue was trying to get it for under $100 a box. Just trying to get any better of a price.

I don't think you can buy ammo in CT.

My dad sold a 300wbymag a year or two ago. Maybe he still has ammo, but I doubt it. I'll find out tho.

Any Wrby round goes pretty premium. Best accept that when you find it, better buy it.

Dave, that is the sad reality it seems I won't be able to avoid. More so wishful thinking to prove myself wrong and also potentially get a deal somewhere. I knew the pricing when I got gun but that's OK I still love it, just was wondering if there were/are any deals to be had yet

In all seriousness, what were you going to say? It isn't about not being able to afford the ammo, I have no problem with spending $100+ a box, it's more of a matter of if I don't need to spend that much then why spend it unless necessary.

You get what you pay for. Nothing shoots flatter/faster than what you got.

He's got a glass shoulder and thinks anything bigger than a 22 Hornet is a magnum kicker. LOL

 

 

Doing a cull and trophy hunt with a 300WBY and 180 TSX's this year......sure make nice tiny groups.

I have mine in ultra lightweight. So this bad boy will kick like its its job, but that's OK. I can handle it. And yes weatherby are AWESOME rifles. I think in a couple years I want to get one of the 6mm mags for target shooting

This is one my Dad had. 1967 made in W Germany. He sold it for $5K and went to Wyoming on a hunt.

That's a beauty! The wood ones are definitely nice lookers! They are just super heavy. After using a lighter accumark and still being heavy on a 10 mile/day mountain hunt decided to go with the ultra lightweight. Fingers crossed it makes a difference. I can only imagine it will

He was prob going to say that its overkill or something on those lines..Anyways, I get mine at Gander down off 81 near Central Square.    I paid $80 last fall.

Yup. My Dad is 5'6" and 150lbs. He prefers the 270wby

I have the 7mmwbymag and love it

Dinsdale has me pegged...<<grin>>...I'm a pussy...

Hey Kid, as long as you don't mind paying $5.00 a round and having your ass kicked every time you squeeze the trigger, have a ball... To each his own..

All I'm saying is that in the REAL world of hunting, I could do 95% of what you are doing with your .300 Mag with a 30-06 with considerably less expense and fuss.

[Dinsdale]

This 300WBY  is in a tupperware Blaser R93 stock, around mid 7 lbs sans sling and ammo.

 

So far the only animal I have taken with it.....180 gr TSX broke offside shoulder

 

 

I've owned a number of 30 cal magnums....300RUM,300Win Mag,300H&H, and this WBY. I like them, good overall performance on 300-700lb class animals that I like to hunt and at distance if required.

At 400yds I would think there's a big difference in drop, no? I haven't done the research.

Why would it kick your ass? I shoot mine in a lead sled to sight in. In the heat of the moment shooting a deer, I don't feel anything. On top of that, I'm shouldering it with a severely separated shoulder.

I'd say I shoot about 10-15 rounds before I go out west on a trip. Otherwise, I don't shoot them anyway. Why shoot guns to kill time when I can play golf or fish in the warmer months?

I guess if you really wanted a 30-06 you could get a nice weatherby 30-06.

Tommy, does Wby pay you as their rep?!? If not, I can be your agent!

Yes, but not much. $10k per year since I was 4 years old. Same with Leupold.

Recoil is not an issue with a little barrel work. For a one high powered big bore rifle hunter that will drop about any game on the face of the earth i will take the 300wby.
