Lloyd,

Woodleigh used to make a 200 gr. flat nose for the .33WCF, so I asked a friend going to Australia if he could find some for me. He couldn’t but happened on a full box of the original Hornady Interlock flat points and brought them back for me.

I understand 210 gr Nosler .338 Partitions work well with the nose turned or filed down to produce a 200gr flat point.

Mostly I use 220 grain cast gas checks which can equal factory ballistics in this cartridge.

For cases I use .45-70 brass, annealed, necked down in a .40-65 die, annealed again and then formed in the factory Lee resizing die and trimmed.

My rifle is not a take-down, unlike yours. Thus far it has harvested one fallow doe, possibly the only deer shot in the UK with this calibre in the 21st century.

I am intrigued by the resemblance of your Weatherby to my Mauser/Heym. I wonder if they both used the same stock supplier, or whether Mauser just asked Heym to copy the Weatherby Californication style?
