I'm looking at getting a Weatherby Vanguard chambered in 300 wm. Anything I need to know?

Fantastic long range thumper. Flatter than a .270 Winchester. A bit much for a lot of Oklahoma but can be fun for sure.
Great cartridge, enjoyWill you be reloading?
That's the plan just have to finish getting my bench set up and a set of dies.
It would be nice to know twist and freebore. That will tell which weight bullet and seating depth (dependent on mag length).
from what I read they have a free bore a mile long.
Yeah I own several weatherbys and they are tricky. All of mine are mark v and have lots of free bore. (Impossible to seat a bullet to the lands) they take some tinkering. I've found that seating a bullet long but still functional in the internal mag works great in mine. I don't own a vanguard but have been told free bore isn't as much in those compared to a mark v. Which actually makes sense since they aren't actually made by weatherby (howa makes them in japan) the theory behind the "jump" is a gain in velocity. It's said it was also included by Roy so he could push light bullets really fast and avoid pressure spikes he had encountered before he finally found a good action design in the mark five (his fifth prototype action) I had a remington 700 ls in .257 once and it didn't have near the free bore of my German .257 still regret selling that 700.
