I no longer have the 416 WBY but I distinctly remember it was a straight line feed, held 2 in the "box".
There was no stagger.

N E 450 No2

They have been 2 shots since day 1. The box and the flat follower have been the same for donkey's years.

Later on tonight or tomorrow morning I will measure (roughly) the width of the boxes....and I have plenty of examples to check

But again, the cartridges do not sit in the magazine like an HS Precision.

BUT, they are in line feed because of the funnel like effect of the top of the box...that is, one single cartridge sits right in the middle at the top of the box.

Mike check it our. I just do not remember any "stagger" in the big cased WBY,s.

Lesson for other AR members...
See how 2 fellas can have different "facts, opinions, experiences" and not end up calling each other "bitches and whores" or even worse.

But N E 450 No2, remember we are talking about high class guns

500 Grains will probably chime in to correct the above

When you guys talk Weatherby it is a foreign language to me. Is it a gun?

Dan - not sure. I think it is something used by bitches and whores....

Send it to a clockmaker for fixin.

N E 450 No2

I sent a couple of pictures I took and have asked Dan to post them up. This is downward look with two 378s sitting in there

The box is 22 mm plus at that back, maybe 23, say about .88" or .89"..I just measured across with a ruler and the rifle assembled, it might even be 24 mm across.

You will notice these are a 2 piece floor plate as they a custom shop barreled actions and the 2 piece is all steel. But the boxes are the same.

Of course if I took the photo with just one cartridge in the box then it would centred in the magazine lips.

Note: Whether Dan's computer will accept a photo of a Wby rifle maybe open to doubt

Here goes:
