“wby mag”

Both cartridges are based on the H&H belted case, generate impressive velocities and have a wide range of bullet weights. Which is the better choice for the hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro takes a closer look at the pros and cons of each.

Between the .338 Winchester and the .340 Weatherby, which makes the most sense for the hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro examines the pros and cons of each.

Both cartridges are fully capable of taking the full range of North American game, and are a solid choice for a light rifle on safari. Therefore, which is the better choice for the hunter looking for a .300 magnum? 

Deer rifles and the cartridges loaded in them have run the gamut the last 50 years, from the Winchester 94 in .30-30 Win. to the Weatherby Mark V in .30-378 Wby. Mag. and the DPMS ARL in 6.5 Creedmoor.

The .240 Weatherby Magnum is the fastest 6mm on the commercial market, exceeding the muzzle velocity of the .243 Win. and 6mm Rem. by 300 fps. If you’re the hunter who likes obscure cartridges, the .240 Wby. Mag. is a great choice for deer, pronghorn and similar-sized game.

Weatherby, Inc. has expanded its bolt-action lineup with the Mark V Hunter, boasting a freshly designed polymer stock that echoes the lines of the Backcountry 2.0 family.

Weatherby announces two Mark V Backcountry rifles in combination with an all-new magnum cartridge; the 6.5 Weatherby RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum).

Despite an array of competitors being introduced since its 1944 debut, Weatherby’s original .30-caliber magnum cartridge is arguably still the best in class.

The Weatherby New Mark V is an aspirational gun designed to be longed for and, once owned, used ably and proudly for generations—same as Roy Weatherby always intended.
