(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.

I am currently using the 150gr TTSX in my 7mmstw, and I have used the 140gr TTSX in other 7mm stws and in a few 7mmremmags. The B.C. is not great, but they are accurate in my rifles, and they perform very well on game. The 150gr ABLR did not shoot at all well in my 7mmstw. As for my Mark V rifles, I loaded to fit the magazine, and lived with that , even though neither rifle would consistently shoot better than moa. I had the 257wby rebarreled with much less freebore, and it became a 1/2moa shooter.
