Here are the Pics I promised!

The first Picture is of the 5 shot group with the Weatherby .243 Win. The second picture is of my 3 shot group with the Weatherby, and the last picture is of the 5 shot group with my M1917. Like I said before, both rifles have Center Pointe Adventure Series 4-16x40 scopes mounted up top.

I hope you enjoy seeing these pictures. I sure had fun shooting for them and now sharing them.

Thanks again guys!

They're (varget and 4064) a little faster burning powder more suited to an intermediate cartridge ,the 4895's are faster yet.The 4350's are more suited to larger cartridges.Try IMR 4064 I think you'll like it,Varget is about the same and has the same "extreme technology" as H4350 but is made in Australia and very hard to come by.

Neck sizing is a good thing,but eventually your bolt will get harder to lock up and you will need to bump the shoulder back.

Weatherby Vanguard is a big step up from that Rossi. I think you made a wise decision to unload the latter.

Velocity

If you'd like more velocity(100gr)... give IMR 4831, Reloder 19 or IMR 7828(my favorite). Look in the Nosler # 3 Reloading manual.

After shooting 20 rounds of factory ammo and cleaning the barrel after each shot and using that time to get familiar with the "feel" of the rifle. I reloaded those 20 factory brass with Hornady 100Gr, and H4350 2.5cc volume loads with the Lee dipper. Then I tried for a few 5 shot groups and then a 3 shot group to see how I matched up with the target that came with the new Weatherby. My best 5 shot group measured 1.8" including the 1 flier. I think that one was me. 4 of those shots were grouped at 1.1". The 3 shot group was on bull and measured .707". All three shots in the green 1" circle of my target. I could not be any happier than I am right now with my rifle. I love this gun! There is nothing extravagant about it. It is just a well made tool for a specific job. It is simplicity at it's finest!

Absolutely; well said. Congrats!
