Quick Look at the 240 Weatherby Magnum
Introduced by Roy Weatherby in 1968, the 240 Weatherby Magnum was designed as a flat-shooting, high-velocity varmint and light game cartridge. Unlike most Weatherby rounds, it was the first not based on the .300 H&H case, showcasing a proprietary case design. Today, it remains a niche favorite among precision-minded hunters seeking superior long-range ballistics in a 6mm platform.
Why It's a Top Choice
- Extremely flat trajectory for long-range precision
- Ideal for varmint and deer-sized game
- High muzzle velocity for a 6mm cartridge
- Available in premium Weatherby Mark V rifles
- Unique brass design minimizes case stretch
