.257 Wby Mag?

[brockel]

I think I'd have to give the 67gr Hammer Bullet option a try. Thinking a Weatherby could get that thing cooking!!

Probably 4000+

Probably 4000+

Yikes. I like fast. That bullet is up to it I bet. Off subject, but I can push a 125 grain Ballistic Tip at just about 4000 fps in a .300 RUM. Cool. mtmuley

80s will do

I had a friend that built one to shoot 125s for coyotes and prairie dogs. Barrel didn’t last long.

 

[mtmuley]

I still have most of those 125's. Mostly an experiment. Sure would vaporize a pdog. mtmuley

Probably 4000+

I'd suspect so. I think it'd make a dandy point and shoot pronghorn/deer getter.

It pretty much is with 110/110's !

Velocity?

 

[noharleyyet]

Velocity?

3460

 

[golfer]

What’s your load data on that setup. Figured you’d be getting more velocity on that small of a bullet.

 

[brockel]

I figured 3600-3700

 

[noharleyyet]

I had faster loads that opened grouping...sub 3500 and putting it where the reticle settled works for me.

Golfer, will pm load.

 

[brockel]

Settled on a 100 grain swift scirocco just north of 3600fps.

That'll transfer some energy.....

Long on splat factor. I had a buddy in NM, years ago, that bought a 30-338. He got light .30 cals up to 4200, if I remember right.

I have all of my scoped rifles Zeroed at 300 Yds. Just an easier calculation, brain thought of bullet drop for a shot. Some use a BDC dial and walk with their dial at 100 yards. Then when they see something, they can range it, adjust, sight, squeeze... DRT (Dead Right There). It is up to what works for YOU!

Funny that this thread resurfaced yesterday. Guess what I picked up today at my FFL?
Weathermark LT in .257 Wby.

 

[noharleyyet]

Gorgeous rifle...love that Wyo stamp. My chamberings are bookended by a .257 Wby and a 45-70 govt, and they are both the current favorites. I suspect the .257 wins out tho.
