6.5 X 300 WBY data?

[reynolds357]

Other than Hodgdon and Barnes, any sources of loading data?

No to Berger, and Nosler.
Let me do more digging.

According to Weatherby's website, load data can be found from Accurate, Hodgdon, Barnes, Speer, Sierra, and Nosler.
I didn"t see 6.5-300 data in my Nosler manual. I thought i had the latest one. Maybe on their website...

Well i just checked Noslers website, no luck on the 6.5-300.

Barnes has data

loaddata.com has quite a few loads. It's a subscription website but it's pretty cheap considering all the loads that it has. The search engine is kind of lame but it works once you get the hang of it.

I checked them out right after i reamed my 7mm-08 to AI.
Loads were very hot, close to dangerous in my opinion.
Haven't gotten on their site since.

Brass will cost you an organ or a piece of one. $41.99 per 20 for Weatherby brand at Midway. On Backorder, of course. On sale at Graf's for $38.99 per 20 plus $7.95 shipping.

Thanks for the link. I never buy WBY brass. It always cost almost tbe same thing as their loaded ammo. WBY factory ammo is screaming fast and very accurate.

I am certain whatever load data nosler publishes will be very underpowered. Their 26 has to look better for one thing. For another, all weatherby cartridges are mysteriously (er, deliberately) weakly loaded with nosler data. And this in contrast to the rest of their data. They have .300 win mag loads pushing 180s at 3150, 150s at 3400. They have 270 win pushing 110s at 3500 and 130s close to 3200. Then they show the .30-378 barely exceeding the .300 win by 150 FPS. Their 270 wby data relates the same to the .270 win, barely beats it. Hodgdon load data is more reflective of the differences in capacity coupled with freebore. They show .30-378 pushing 180s to 3480 and 270 wby pushing 130s to 3500. The wierd thing is that nosler seems to show true full power data for standard cartridges, magnums, and even the Remington ultra mags. It seems like they determined from the start to weaken weatherbies.
