Got the 240 weath mag today and its another tack driver.I cleaned the barrel good before I fired it and three shots with factory rounds cut holes easy at 65 yards.I cant wait to get the dies and load for it.I hate to buy factory ammo but a box of the cheapest factory rounds was the same price as a box of brass.I needed them to break the barrel in slowly anyway.I put a ell cheapo tasco scope on it until my dies and good scope comes in the mail this week.
ANYONE have any 240 mag brass to sell? I tried to ask in the classifies but it didn't post.I have piles of differ brass to trade also in many differ cals.I don't need much brass if this baby is like the 257mag.Ive got about 30 reloads out of the 257 weatherby brass and the are still working great.Best brass that ive ever seen and I push that 257mag very hard.Annealing them and neck sizing is why.Im looking for once fired Weatherby or maybe Norma brass only.
This sucker has a 1-10 twist and hope it will like a 70grn or so bullet instead of a 100.Time will tell and my powder is getting slim.Im thinking 4350,4831,R19 or heck,who knows.ANY THOUGHTS WILL BE GREAT.
