well I slapped an inexpensive simmons scope on the mod 70 and bought the cheapest 180 grainers I could find (29 bucks) from cheaper than dirt. I took the old gal out and put 3 shots in a little under 1 1/2 inches. I was pretty tickled. I figure with hand loads i could bring it under an inch. I...

Most of the factory loads I have found have been 180 grain bullets. I think that should be sufficient for moose and caribou but I would like to hand load some 200 grainers to see how they shoot. I am not to interested in the big bears unless they show and unhealthy interest in me.

bob, I think you nailed it. I tried to chamber a 300 weatherby and there aint no way that round was gonna fit. Mystery solved. Now I have to decide if I want to get the reloading dies for the old h and h. My boy thinks he should get it in alaska for moose and caribou and I tend to think it would...

I will do that, I had already ordered a box of 300 h and h from cheaper than dirt. I thought I may fire a round and see what the spent case looks like. I assume it would look like a 300 weatherby casing if the rifle had been rechambered. Thanks for all the input. I also picked up a savage model...

i read the same thing that is why I was curious when he said it was a 300 h and h weatherby. I was pretty tickled to pick up a pre 64 for 250. It is all original and built in 1960. I hope it has not been rechambered because I was looking forward to the 300 h and h. I was thinking of sending it...

living in a rural area, gunsmiths are not that convenient and I wanted to avoid shipping it off if there was an easy check. But thanks for the reply

I recently picked up a pre 64 mod 70 that is stamped 300 h&h. The owner had gotten it from a family members estate. He told me it was a 300 h&h weatherby magnum. Since it is stamped 300 h & h I wonder if it may have been rechambered. He does not know any of its history and had no ammo. I was...
