@broncolcj.I do agree, Whelen is much milder on the shoulder. Weatherby is more practical for me personally because of where I hunt most often requiring longer shots
With a 225grain woodleigh PPSP sighted 2 inches high at 100yards it zeros at 215 yards, 7 inches low at 300 and only 21 inches low at 400. If you sighted it for 3 inches high a 100 it would be even flatter. This gives it an even flatter trajectory than a 308 with a 150gn SST at 2,900 fps.
Flat enough for me.
