TC Maxi Ball. Shot my first 2 bulls and 1 cow with this setup. Also have a .50 cal barrel which I shoot 250 gr .45 cal Barnes Expander Sabots with 2 50 gr Pyrodex pellets. Haven't shot anything since switching to this setup yet. Love shooting the old school smoke poles! I just got my first muzzy. Inline though.... So I noticed you said you have a .50 cal barrel but shoot a .45 cal sabot. I didn't know you could do that! Learn something new everyday. Pretty rifle!

I think he’s referring to a .50 cal sabot with a .45 cal bullet in it. The sabot makes up the other 0.05 cal. Don’t load a .45cal sabot in a .50 cal rifle. I’m guessing it would just fall out if you tipped the rifle forward, along with your powder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the gun ever failed me I could take the scope off an beat an elk to death with it. Wish they could squeeze 3-27 out of the ultra short. I ordered a 3-27 ps2 first but it was gigantic. The 3-20 is a little heavier then the 2.5-25 March it replaced but its rock solid. The March had a calling on another classic looking 7STW of mine that needed a better scope! How’s your March working out? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted March 12, 2019 My March 3-24x52 is working great on my lightweight .280AI. I have a 3-20x50 S&B non-US on my 7RM, and just got a S&B 3-20x50 US for my 6.5 SLR I am rebuilding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elkhnter Report post Posted April 27, 2019 Dreamed of owning a Weatherby since I was a kid. Couple weeks ago, I bought a Weathermark in 300 Wby at a RMEF banquet. Mounted a VX 3i 4.4-14x40 on it. Waiting on dies and nice weather to work up a elk load. Looking at using a Nosler AB or Partition. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
