Earlier in the week I went to the small local range to which I belong.

I was there by myself and one of the things I do as the rifle cools between groups is tidy up.

Pick up brass, loose paper etc.

As I worked , I began to notice unusual brass headstamped WW Super 300 Win Mag but with a Weatherby double radius shoulder and an extremely short neck.

I'm sure this has happened many times before,but ONCE per offender.

I found 34 of these cases at the 25 yard line and the 200 yard line.

I wonder if he ever got the rifle to zero and group properly???????

Sort of a reverse Ackley Weatherby.

Have any of you guys ever run into this kind of willful density ?


Covey dumb but not that dumb 16

The whole country ran into it in the election of 2008. We just notice it more when it involves rifles, bullets etc.
It seems more common w/ the 7mms for some reason.

I once heard a sporting goods store clerk tell a customer that he could use .243 Win in a 6mm Rem because they were both 6mm. Wonder how that worked out........

I was at the range one day right before Elk season and saw a couple guys do the same thing.

They left all the brass and I went pick it up and found about 30 cases like that.

I never saw the targets, but it was a long punishing sight in session for these guys.

I get the feeling that sporting goods clerks don't get a whole lot of training these days and that there are hordes of people who think they are Daniel Boone just because they can afford to buy a rifle.

Many of us get taught early to know their equipment, many don't.
