Do you have to use weatherby ammo in a weatherby?

The answer is yes...and no There are several models of Weatherby rifles. Different models are avail. in a plethora of calibers. Here is an example: If you have a Weatherby Mark V chambered for 7mm Weatherby Mag YOU CANNOT shoot 7MM Remington Mag ammo. Dont look at the manufacturer of the ammo, look at the caliber and do not interchange. Weatherby has several "propriatary" calibers, wby 7mm, wby 270, wby 257, wby 460, and others. Look on the barrel for the caliber stamp. If your rifle is chambered in one of these "weatherby" calibers, you must shoot either Wby ammo, or reload. If your rifle is chambered in a standard caliber (270 win, 30.06, 243, 7mm, 257, etc,etc, you can shoot any munufacturers ammo that is in that caliber.

What is the most accurate rifle bullet?

The most accurate rifle bullet is the one shot by the best marksman...

Boat tails... DTAC...

That is right it is the marksman but to get technological the most accurate bullet is the chaytac 408. Bullet

Sorry... but this claim that they .408 CheyTac is more accurate than any other cartridge is unfounded. 0.5 MOA is not unique to that cartridge, and such long range performance is only achieved in purpose built rifles firing a cartridge which is optimized for that specific rifle.

A projectile leaving a barrel does not leave in a straight line. The trajectory it takes is determined by a combination of muzzle velocity, pitch rate (rate of rifling twist), gravity, wind speed and direction, etc. The .408 is no more immune to these factors than any other cartridge.

CheyTac claimed a G1 ballistic coefficient with their 419 grain cartridge, but independent testing has failed to recreate these same results.

Can a 357 revolver shoot 38 ammunition?

Yes. The only possible problem that can arise is that because the 38 special brass is shorter than the 357 brass the chamber just in front of the 38 special brass becomes a little rough due to the erosive effects of the gunpowder. 357 cartridge can then become hard to extract after firing.
