I agree with this. As for the Barnes bullets the 160gr TSX will have marginal stability in a 1/10 twist in warm weather, probably insufficient in cold temps, also it does not have a tip, I have read they do not reliably expand with out the polymer tip. (Assuming your Weatherby is a 1/10) There is a 168gr LRX but it calls for a 1/8 twist. So next best with Barnes is a 150gr TTSX. I have them loaded for my 7mm rem mag, not the best BC but good if your not stretching out your shots.
