Last night I seen a post of a old man selling all his whole reloading room for $575 I got everything to start reloading including a table for everything 15 pounds of powder and I think almost 4k primers trigger pull gauge powder scales and a ton of 30cal and 7mm bullets and a bunch more
Thanks for the video brother! I've been there a time or two with the messing around and missing out on booolet slingers. I collect 375's and have a pretty cool story about a gunbroker find I picked up about 15 years ago. You've prompted me to do a video on it. Thanks again for all you do 👍
Weatherby took the Vanguards to a whole new level when they put out the Talon. I picked one up last summer and absolutely love it. The carbon fiber stock is solid as a rock and super light. 1/2 MOA and well balanced.
I bought one for my father when they very first came out and the gun was a $1,000. And the ammo was $100. A box do 5 boxes was $500. They now cost $140. For a box of ammo so unless you reload you getter be prepared 🤔😳
Time to head to Tolliver's!! haha That's a gorgeous rifle WTW!! Can't wait to see that one at the range. Watch out for Heavy Metal, he'll be a wantin to one hand it....lol
I've got this exact rifle I've had it probably 3 or 4 years it's absolutely awesome I topped it with a vortex diamondback 6-24x50 I believe and it's a tack driver I've tried the factory loaded 127 barnes LRX 130 swift scirroco and 140 grain hornady interlock and it shoot all three awesome the barnes and swift shoot exactly the same out of mine! I finally got all the stuff to reload for it which was tough here in canada large magnum primers are virtually impossible to get! But yeah hands down my favorite cartridge I've taken mule deer moose and a elk so far and the knock down power is insane for a 6.5 caliber! It's super cool to finally see a gun chanel like yours doing a video on this caliber there's virtually none on it! Hope to see you do some super cool testing with this gun id be curious to see how many paper plates it would go through just saying lol but also just want to say me and my buddies are huge fans of the chanel keep doing your thing your videos appeal to the average shooter and its awesome thanks
Had a Ruger Number One in .375 Ruger that I gave to a friend. It easily beat the H&H round with both the 300 gr. FMJ's and the Barnes monolithic solids... getting into the low 5,000 ft. lb. range in muzzle energies! The monolithic solids were à little faster but the FMJ's had a bit more penetration!
I'm sitting here going, "Hey, that's a 6.5-300 Weatherby Mag!" and you just keep going down the "can you guess it" list, and I'm like... "Just say it already!!!" LOL! Quite a stout round! I bought a Weatherby Lazerguard in 308win back in 2015, and it is absolutely one of my go to boolot slingers! Not to mention, with the high gloss bluing and high gloss wooden stock with the engraved oak leaves, she's a looker too!!!
Excellent rifle Adam! Can't wait to see the actual velocities of the factory loads that you got! Beautiful rifle and in your favorite color for the most part (green) as I recall! The Berger 156 grain will be interesting!
Used 300 Win not this version. Great find, and pretty powerful too! Nice distance and accuracy with that barrel. Though I am addicted to 45-70 wirh Black Butterfly 576grain. Barnes makes great stuff too.
Love all the videos keep up the good work. I've always liked the 6.5 300 wby. I've got a custom built 6.5 300 rum on a nesika action. My main load is a 127gr LRX running 3,676. I absolutely love it and have zero regrets having it built. I'm hoping to get around 500-600 rounds before having to do a re-chamber, right now I'm right around 240 round mark. Like I said before keep up the great content.
As soon as you pulled out the cartridge and I saw the long case and radiated shoulder and skinny long bullet I knew which cartridge it was. The 6.5x300 WBY Mag! It is in my top 3 Wby cartridges that I would like to own along with the 257 Wby Mag and the 338 WBY RPM.
The weatherby 6.5-300 is an amazing round!! I have one chambered in a vanguard badlands edition. I have a great load developed that is grouping under 3/8" at 100 yds. Luckily that one comes with a brake I am going to end up sending mine back to have it threaded to make it easier on my shoulder haha. Really looking forward to seeing how you end up liking it.
Wow that's hypersonic screamer love to the bullet drop chart seems like a great long range mule deer elk rifle not so much a white tail at 40yds rifle still a huge score👍👍
Me too... I found one at a pawn shop in Grass Valley CA for $200. It was a Ruger #1 Tropical 375 H&H. He had 2 boxes of shells I bought for $18 I believe and told him I'll be back for the Ruger. I figured after dinner I'm going to get, but during dinner the wife said no, no way. I still have those shells. That was around 1978-79. The last #1 Ruger 375 I saw was in Oklahoma City at a big gun shop, same one as in Grass Valley for $1,300. They were around $150 new when they came out, my uncle bought one that's how I knew about it. He had a trip planned for Kenya with his Win 458. I wanted to put a Leupold 1.5-5x scope on it, still kicking my butt 😡
You can just order one from anyone who makes them, it doesn’t have to be on the shelf to buy it. You can buy a normal rifle for the normal price exactly the spec you want it with just the click of your mouse.
That is one over bore cartridge barrel burning cartridge! If you hold down the number of rounds you shoot through it you will have it for a while but if you shoot it like a regular bullet slinger your barrel will be toast! I might also add the 156 perfect for deer and bigger lighter bullets Antelope etc. the lighter bullets on deer tear the meat up but the heavier do not do as bad of a job on tearing up the meat!
Great rifle!!! Triggers are awesome!!! And, they group like a champ! This is a sub $1,200 dollar offering from Weatherby. I absolutely love my vanguard chambered in .243!!!
You held the round up and my first guess was a .257 Weatherby, just from the shoulder radius. The 6.5/300 is a hot hot round. The Vangard is a sweet rifle too!
Who Tee Who I have 2 Belgium made brownings. 30-06 auto 5 and another 12 gauge auto. As for missing out on that Browning, you know what Forest says stupid is stupid, does!😂
On line I found an untouched M1879 Springfield Trapdoor Carbine 45/70 since it was rearsenaled in 1890 or later; at a local pawn store. Contacted the owner who explained they are only open 3 days a week as they have sold the store and the new owner takes over on April 1. I asked him to put it back and i'd buy it, he did just that. It's coming home with me.
I'm anxious to see your groups. Mine does 3 shot groups all touching at 200 yards with Weatherby factory ammo consistently. The 4th shot always tends to be a flyer though. Sweet cartridge. Look forward to your videos.
You know I have several MKV models and several Vanguards and to my surprise the Vanguards are just as accurate as the more expensive MKV models.I do have the High Country in 6.5 PRC, it is a very nice looking and shooting rifle, Nice choice.
I thought you were picking up 264 Win Mag since you were looking at it on the rack. I’ve got a Remington 700 CDL in 264 Win Mag and it is flat shooting. Hopefully one day you will get one.!
I did the same thing with an Interarms Mark Ten Mauser in .375 H&H. I went home and researched the ammo...$96 a box was the cheapest I could find with plenty going for $120-$150. I held off and a few days went back and it was gone. it was a cool rifle but I couldn't find a reason on earth to get it lol!
When you said 6.5, I already knew it was Weatherby by the curved (radiused) cartridge shoulder with the belted magnum. It is awesome. I have a stainless Vanguard in .270 Win
WHO-TEE that is a lot of recoil for this old man lol. I will say this, that is one fine looking rifle (even though I can't stand the look of muzzle brakes). Can't wait to see some shots. I thought it was kinda funny you were excited about the 156gr at 3050 when a 30-06 will push a 150gr at almost 3000. I know, I know: BC is king lol. I'm just too old and set in my ways to shoot heavy recoil rifles. Have fun. Just curious about the Browning 375.....was it an old school Browning Safari High Power with the mauser action? If it was, you missed out on a great rifle/cartridge. Start looking for a Pre64 Win Mod 70 in the same caliber. You won't regret it.
Had the opportunity many years ago to grab up a weatherby chambered in .30-378 and I didn’t do it. Kick myself in the ass when I think about it too. The ole girl was beautifully blued with a gorgeous checkered walnut stock. Don’t recall the price exactly but I do remember it was in the $500-$750 range
A .375 H&H is one I've been wanting but haven't been willing to spend the kind of money everyone wants. I used to be an FFL 01 and back when I was in Business, I found that a lot of People would come in and buy a Firearm and then couldn't find ammo. I told them I'd learned to make sure I had ammo for a Firearm before I bought it (Because a Rifle with no ammo is just a steel handled club and a pistol with no ammo is basically a Rock, LOL). So I'd found some .375 H&H ammo really cheap at Academy Sports and bought it. Now I'm "Needing" a .375 H&H Rifle. FWIW, that's a beautiful Rifle! I have several Vanguards that I bought at Walmart years ago (they were $406.00 out the door)and a couple of Mark V's.
You have greater tolerance for recoil than this old guy. However, I have fired the 156Gr Berger EOL from my 6.5 Creedmoor. My rifle shoots lights out with the Berger bullets. I hope you have the same results. Thanks for the Vanguard review.
A very nice rifle and an interesting caliber. Those bullets are cooking out of that barrel. I can't wait to see your future videos on it. I'm also curious about the recoil of the rifle. I'm also curious about the damage it does to a deer or possibly an elk.
If you like the 6.5x300 Weatherby you might want to try a .338x.378 Weatherby? Then you’d have a bullet slinger with excellent speed but the barrel will not last long if shot a lot. These cartridges were developed for hunting and shooting targets at very long distances compared to a regular bullet slinger! Enjoy oh did I mention they eat powder like a hungry wild hog.
Vanguard barreled actions are made under contract in Japan by Howa. Accurate and reliable. Love your channel and especially the song at the end. Keep it going brother.
Congrats on a very cool new bing bang. Very nice choice. If you can try to get a Ruger No1 Tropical in .375H&H, .404Jeffrey or .416Rigby. I think the WTW Collection needs a Sauer.
As soon as I saw the belt I was hoping that it was a .264 Winchester Magnum. When I was a kid my dad had one that was a shooting SOB and it was one of the first guns that I ever shot I would really like to see Winchester bring it back. I bet it would be great with today's modern technology and powders.
I’ve got a Vanguard in the 6.5 x 300 shooting the Weatherby Swift Scirrocco 180 gr ammo & it is a tack driver . One of the most accurate rifles I own . Only fault is you do have to let the barrel cool down after 3 shots or so .
I was fortunate enough to inherit a 375H&H and love, love, LOVE it! Mine is a Whitworth Express made by Zastava and imported by Interarms. I'd suggest you look into that or the Interarms Mark X equivalent. They can usually be had for a little more than a grand, and are a very well made Mauser 98-style magnum length CRF action in a timeless walnut and blued steel platform. About a month ago, I was able to squeeze a half MOA group out of mine at 100 yards using Barnes 300gr TSXs over IMR 4350. Side note - a few months ago I was just barely a few days late on a stainless and synthetic Browning A-bolt in 375H&H at a pawn shop in Tulsa for just over a grand.
3,400 fps, that's really hot! Literally. How many rounds before the barrel runs smooth, and needs replacing or the gun dumped? 500? 600? Think I'll keep my Swede at 10,000 rounds. Yeah.
I was saying Weatherby! As the video was starting. What a cool gun/cartridge. Will decently help to reload with ammo cost. I think the .30/338 cal would be cool. Maybe a Lapua
I seen one of those Weatherby’s at a local gun shop and was worried about the pencil thin barrel not being accurate. I’m curious about what kind of accuracy you get with that one. Get some glass on it and show us whatnot can do.
Who, you are going to like shooting that caliber, it is a fun accurate bullet. The recoil is not bad, I shoot mine without a brake, you are going to have alot of fun at the range. Gotta love Weatherby.
Who Tee I think you need a 264 win mag I have been shooting one since 1988. Easy to reload for not much factory ammo. This is your old buddy Chris from Utah this is my ranching channel.
I can hardly wait to see You sight this rifle in, then take it out and do some Long distance stuff . I was actually guessing it might be a Weatherby .338/378 , which would have been really cool to see , there don't seem to be an awful lot of video's about that cartridge and most searches I do end up showing .300/378 Weatherby which is still cool but not a .338. Thanks WTW catch You next time .
I've been shooting a 130 gr 270wsm at 3300 fps for 20 years lol In a short action with a LOT less recoil and cheaper factory offerings too. I could probably push it to 3400, but that would be one spicy meatball :P Helluva great round, I hate seeing it becoming obsolete in the shadow of these newer rounds. Run the numbers in a ballistic app. 270wsm shows out against the 6.5 prc, 6.8 western and several others.
I had a Weatherby Vanguard in 257 wyb Only thing I didn’t like was the 2 stage trigger. I’m use to a single stage, but all in all it was a good trigger I just wasn’t a fan. But other than that it was a great rifle.
65 buy 300 I've never even heard of that round which is why I don't call my self an expert I rather all myself a student of the gun because I am forever learning new things about gun's I am 75 years old and still learning which is a good thing in my book anyway.
It just so happens that I have one of those in a Mark 5. Congrats! I've seen a lot of game killed, but I can promise you that nothing I've seen drops deer sized game like that swift load, so hopefully it shoots well as it does in mine. I killed 5 deer and two antelope last fall with that combo as well as let someone else use it on 3 more antelope. Last year wasn't much different and I've seen it drop at least 3 gut shot animals in their tracks with gut shots with that combo. Also, of all the animals last year, a deer and 2 antelope ran a tiny way with heart shots, and everything else went went down immediately with only one being a cns hit. Extreme trauma, and I've never caught a bullet. The only bullet that comes close with a small sample size is 124 hammer reloads. My rifle also loves the factory Berger load and the lrx factory load, but I haven't hunted with them. I also have a 6.5prc, but I haven't thought of a reason to use it hunting when I have the 6.5x300. Reload with the slowest temp stable powder you can find if you aren't developing a load in a similar temperature you'll be hunting in. Hopefully, the guy that traded it wasn't for accuracy reasons, and you will have a pile of fun, and of course high velocity means quicker barrel fouling. I don't know what you paid, but you got a pile of $ worth of accessories. Have fun, and I look forward to finding out more from you.

Last night I seen a post of a old man selling all his whole reloading room for $575 I got everything to start reloading including a table for everything 15 pounds of powder and I think almost 4k primers trigger pull gauge powder scales and a ton of 30cal and 7mm bullets and a bunch more
Wow!!!
That’s the way to start
Good find
Wow what a deal!
That’s an absolute steal! Primers alone are going for $100 a thousand!
Man Toliver’s is great, glad you turned me on to them. There was a 223 American G2 there on Saturday but I brought it home. Great little rifle.
Thanks for the video brother!
I've been there a time or two with the messing around and missing out on booolet slingers.
I collect 375's and have a pretty cool story about a gunbroker find I picked up about 15 years ago.
You've prompted me to do a video on it. Thanks again for all you do 👍
Awesome! I need a 375!
Every now and then though, we get to be that fortunate soul who stumbles into the incredible deal! Always a good day... but only in every way!
Weatherby took the Vanguards to a whole new level when they put out the Talon. I picked one up last summer and absolutely love it. The carbon fiber stock is solid as a rock and super light. 1/2 MOA and well balanced.
You should really get into some AR 15s

I've wanted a 375 H&H for a long time and have never found one. I may have to drop some pennies and get a custom rifle built.
Me too
Make sure you get a control round feed one!

I have one in tungsten, muzzle break, Cerakote, fluted barrel, Grey brush stock. And two boxes of ammo. Very Purdy, but still havent shot the thing.

Bought my first deer rifle in 2011. A Howa 1500 Hogue in .30-06 and I've hunted with it ever since. Paid $330 for it back then.
Congrats on a very cool new bing bang. Very nice choice.
If you can try to get a Ruger No1 Tropical in .375H&H, .404Jeffrey or .416Rigby.
I think the WTW Collection needs a Sauer.
That's awesome! Been wanting something chambered in that cartridge... just because it's cool.
As soon as I saw the belt I was hoping that it was a .264 Winchester Magnum. When I was a kid my dad had one that was a shooting SOB and it was one of the first guns that I ever shot I would really like to see Winchester bring it back. I bet it would be great with today's modern technology and powders.
I’ve got a Vanguard in the 6.5 x 300 shooting the Weatherby Swift Scirrocco 180 gr ammo & it is a tack driver . One of the most accurate rifles I own . Only fault is you do have to let the barrel cool down after 3 shots or so .
130 gr. I meant on the ammo not 180 typing error
Weatherby Vanguards are made right here in Sheridan, Wyoming...they've really expanded their offerings since moving from the left coast.
Mark Vs are made in Wyoming. I could be wrong but pretty sure the vanguard, at least partially is made in Japan. Even says so on the barrel
@@WHOTEEWHO Whoops, you're right... manufactured by Howa. Serious brain fart this morning...must need more coffee!😆
I was fortunate enough to inherit a 375H&H and love, love, LOVE it! Mine is a Whitworth Express made by Zastava and imported by Interarms. I'd suggest you look into that or the Interarms Mark X equivalent. They can usually be had for a little more than a grand, and are a very well made Mauser 98-style magnum length CRF action in a timeless walnut and blued steel platform. About a month ago, I was able to squeeze a half MOA group out of mine at 100 yards using Barnes 300gr TSXs over IMR 4350.
Side note - a few months ago I was just barely a few days late on a stainless and synthetic Browning A-bolt in 375H&H at a pawn shop in Tulsa for just over a grand.
Wow that is a deal
Nice rig Adam...sorry you missed the Browning I love mine & alotta peaple just don't mess w/ em probably the $$$ tag would have alot to do w/ it!
Yup I was bummed
3,400 fps, that's really hot! Literally. How many rounds before the barrel runs smooth, and needs replacing or the gun dumped? 500? 600? Think I'll keep my Swede at 10,000 rounds. Yeah.
I was saying Weatherby! As the video was starting. What a cool gun/cartridge. Will decently help to reload with ammo cost.
I think the .30/338 cal would be cool. Maybe a Lapua
I was actually saying.30/338 when it started. 🤣🤣
30-338 win is essentially the 308 norma, 300 lapua was a thing a d a flop
I have a 30/338. Mauser brazilian action, douglas barrel, bishop stock. Super accurate. Great cartridge. I like the path less traveled.
Whole lotta awesome goin’ on!!
I'm ready for another who tee who approved video 🙂
Appreciate you watching!
The belt and rounded shoulder gave away the weatherby, lol
I seen one of those Weatherby’s at a local gun shop and was worried about the pencil thin barrel not being accurate. I’m curious about what kind of accuracy you get with that one. Get some glass on it and show us whatnot can do.
Stay tuned
Who, you are going to like shooting that caliber, it is a fun accurate bullet. The recoil is not bad, I shoot mine without a brake, you are going to have alot of fun at the range. Gotta love Weatherby.
Love tolivers good people! I try to swing by there every time I’m in mancatcher lol. I’m from Estill springs TN bout 20 min from there
Looks like a 1/2” drive 1/4” socket! 😂🙌🏻👍🏻
You never see one in the pawn shops around here ! We do not have those things here . Lol ! Meaning the shops 😢
Mr. Hootie Who, you must buy a gun every week. How many guns do you have now, I think you can really call this an addiction.😂
Gotta have videos on everything
Would love to see your reloading setup!!!
Really cool looking Bing bang dude love the green cammo stock
Who Tee I think you need a 264 win mag I have been shooting one since 1988. Easy to reload for not much factory ammo. This is your old buddy Chris from Utah this is my ranching channel.
Nice gun. Im lookin to decrease the space in the old gun safe, lookin at the 7mmPRC. Im just getting in to reloading.
Great looking rifle- 6.5-300 weatherby was my second guess
in the boollat slinger show was that the Halo theme song you hummed ??
Gotta squirrel with that one time. Little bugger was fast couldn’t find hid nor hair of em. He just kinda jumped up the a cloud of dirt in a flash. 😅
Man that cartridge looks wild with such a huge amount of powder behind it
I've never seen one of the Wetherbe 65/300 rifles not sure of the spelling
How’s your barrel on that thing ? At that speed 1500 rounds before barrel burnout ? Genuine question. .?🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🏴🇮🇱💪👍
No idea. Most people will never shoot 1500 rounds
I can hardly wait to see You sight this rifle in, then take it out and do some Long distance stuff . I was actually guessing it might be a Weatherby .338/378 , which would have been really cool to see , there don't seem to be an awful lot of video's about that cartridge and most searches I do end up showing .300/378 Weatherby which is still cool but not a .338. Thanks WTW catch You next time .
I've been shooting a 130 gr 270wsm at 3300 fps for 20 years lol In a short action with a LOT less recoil and cheaper factory offerings too. I could probably push it to 3400, but that would be one spicy meatball :P Helluva great round, I hate seeing it becoming obsolete in the shadow of these newer rounds. Run the numbers in a ballistic app. 270wsm shows out against the 6.5 prc, 6.8 western and several others.
I had a Weatherby Vanguard in 257 wyb Only thing I didn’t like was the 2 stage trigger. I’m use to a single stage, but all in all it was a good trigger I just wasn’t a fan. But other than that it was a great rifle.
Ahh the 6.5 throat eroder, but nice rifle
Holy Buckets! That a heckuva rig 💯💥💥💥‼️
65 buy 300 I've never even heard of that round which is why I don't call my self an expert I rather all myself a student of the gun because I am forever learning new things about gun's I am 75 years old and still learning which is a good thing in my book anyway.
Funny how 6.5x300 traces back several steps to .375 H&H as parent case! 😁👍
Wow! Talk about a serious package deal!
I smiled really big when you did the Halo theme reveal. 117 never forget. 😊
After you pull the trigger and the bang fades away, you can hear your wallet crying. 😂
Those things are pretty $$ per bang.
I remember a guy having 6.5-300 WTB back in the 90's, probably a wildcat. I remember him saying the reloading dies could only be sold in the USA!
Wow
Maybe someday you can do a feed on the .257 roberts.very versatile and acurate.
Great show 👍👍👍👍👍 and you save some money 💲💲💰
Thanks for watching
I’m not a reloader but I noticed that those cartridges were belted, does this make it more difficult to reload?
I'm new to it so no idea
Wonder how many rounds it takes to burn out that barrel. 1000? Less?
Less than 1000 maybe get 800 of lucky 👍
The way you looked at the ammo you got makes me think some of those rounds are the old owners reloads
YUP
Now you need a Leupold VX-5HD T-ZL3 laying around.
Never seen that rifle , but when held the cartridge i new it was a Weatherby magnum of some sort? I wounder he traded it in ?, good looking rifle 😊
You got 1000$ in ammo! 😂😂😂
The 6.5 is a great caliber but the ammo is a little spendy and hard on the barrels! I have had severs bring a collector
Never fired one but it looks awesome WTW. I KNOW YOU WILL ENJOY IT!
That tangent shoulder on that cartridge always screams Weatherby. Why is it that they have that style of case shoulder?
Because of the higher pressures that weatherbey runs so you can't put it in a gun that can't handle the pressure s.
375 H&H for the win tho
It just so happens that I have one of those in a Mark 5. Congrats!
I've seen a lot of game killed, but I can promise you that nothing I've seen drops deer sized game like that swift load, so hopefully it shoots well as it does in mine. I killed 5 deer and two antelope last fall with that combo as well as let someone else use it on 3 more antelope.
Last year wasn't much different and I've seen it drop at least 3 gut shot animals in their tracks with gut shots with that combo. Also, of all the animals last year, a deer and 2 antelope ran a tiny way with heart shots, and everything else went went down immediately with only one being a cns hit. Extreme trauma, and I've never caught a bullet.
The only bullet that comes close with a small sample size is 124 hammer reloads.
My rifle also loves the factory Berger load and the lrx factory load, but I haven't hunted with them.
I also have a 6.5prc, but I haven't thought of a reason to use it hunting when I have the 6.5x300.
Reload with the slowest temp stable powder you can find if you aren't developing a load in a similar temperature you'll be hunting in.
Hopefully, the guy that traded it wasn't for accuracy reasons, and you will have a pile of fun, and of course high velocity means quicker barrel fouling.
I don't know what you paid, but you got a pile of $ worth of accessories. Have fun, and I look forward to finding out more from you.
Ready to see these videos! I own the same exact rifle!
