In this video I find the limits to my 300 Weatherby with a Barnes 175 grain LRX bullet. I loaded it up with RL-22 and did a ladder test to see the top velocity of my rifle. I also shot my 270 Winchester and my friend brought his 30-06 Springfield.

Happy Birthday Austin! It turned out to be a great birthday celebration at the range! Nice groups, crazy velocities with your 300 Wby. You were into 300 RUM territory and just about nipping on the heels of factory 30-378 velocities. And you found your pressure limits. A productive birthday at the range!

Hope this is the best birthday of them all. Happy Birthday, and many happy returns of the day! You are slinging a 170gr 30cal bullet 3400fps. That is hauling the freight! How far are you jumping and what is the barrel length? I couldn't see any ejector swipes but definite craters. I had a Savage Axis 1 in 6.5CM. I got a deal that I could not refuse. After I trimmed and polished the seer, it was a very enjoyable gun to shoot. A really accurate factory rifle that was extremely easy to work on. I love Savage rifles. Thanks for another great video!

Would have stopped after the 2nd shot on that ladder test, maybe even the first. Over pressure is not simply a well that's not quite enough overpressure yet. Looks like that last one was extremely close to being a complete primer blowout. On the positive side it certainly appears that your dedication and efforts are leading to some pretty strong load work-ups. Nice work.

She's not efficient with the light stuff but I bet we can kiss 4000fps with a 130TTSX and a 28" barrel. Who's got a 30-378 in the comments to lend Reloading Weatherby for a test ???

I have owned a Weatherby Mark 5 with a custom 30inch barrel for 40 years. I bought it to shoot at a 1000 yard range plus take elk hunting. I have used RL 22 for many years . I have hunted coyotes with 100 fmj and taken coyotes at 600 yards with little adjustment. With those bullets i could shoot direct on target at 250 yards. I don't buy high end bullets like barnes or any solids but a good standard bullet that opens to a size of a nickel,up to 600yards. I have taken elk or deer at 600 to 800 yards and each time .the animal dropped.

Oddly when I hear a discussion of cartridge "efficiency" I start to shut down. Usually, not this time, the term is used to describe a new cartridge that is NOT as fast as what it is designed to surpass. Personally I don't concern myself with those things. If it delivers a bullet at a higher velocity and more punch, I like it. Do I need that higher velocity? How can I tell, the buck/bull didn't complain. My Ram 2500 is probably not as "efficient" as a Prius , but I don't care. Good video RW. Cheers, Jeff.

You've really seemed to struggle to get the .270 to shoot well. Have you tried bedding the stock and check the clearance between the barrel and stock? That can make all the difference sometimes. I was chasing different bullets and powders in one of my dad's rifles trying to get it to shoot for him and when I started getting frustrated I took the time to get the stock bedded and the barrel properly free floated and everything came together after that

The rifle has actually really liked the Nosler Partition. I'm almost getting half MOA with it. I also got half MOA with the 150 gr Accubond. Trouble is... I don't have anymore Accubonds. I was really hoping the 270 would like the Hammer bullet.

@@ReloadingWeatherby another thing that comes to mind with pushing the velocity up that high is if there would be any benefits to gain/progressive twist barrels? I remember reading they were used to help smooth out the pressure curve of large black powder and some older artillery pieces, it might come back into play for modern rounds as the pressure and velocity keep going up.

Even the author says he has never used this load again, evidently he was only chasing velocity and once attained never used that loading again, If you look at the primers in the video every one has signs of overpressure.
