Marion Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 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? You Can't Beat My Meat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b79holmes Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Are you near a Cabelas? The last time I was in one (MA) they had 10+ boxes of 300WBY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. You Can't Beat My Meat!

Daveboone Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Any Wrby round goes pretty premium. Best accept that when you find it, better buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 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 You Can't Beat My Meat!

Pygmy Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 NAAAAW...I ain't gonna say it.... Good luck with your .300 WBY... Hope it makes you happy... No sarcasm intended...I really mean that.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sarcasm intended...I really mean that.. 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.

Dinsdale Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 In all seriousness, what were you going to say? 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 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 You Can't Beat My Meat!

Marion Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 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 You Can't Beat My Meat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pygmy Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinsdale Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) 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.

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. 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.

Four Season Whitetail's Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
