Anyone here use 85 grain Nosler BTs out of a 257 Weatherby for deer and antelope?

No sir but it sounds fast and lethal...I use light hammers in the 25 wby and Barnes X in the 25-naught6 & they're never not impressive.

Never going to yuck anyone's yum when it comes to a quarterbore, but might a Ballistic Tip be a *touch* volatile at 3700-3800fps?

I had solid results with the 95gr. Hammer HHT doing 3200fps from a .257 Ackley. I would think that those are likely to hold together better at such extreme velocities.

I guess I need to check out hammers. The place I have in mind for using the BTs is wide and open antelope county with a great chance of seeing wolves but never close. That said, maybe the 100 grain partitions would be better for deer and elk.

The lightest .25-cal BT Hunting I'm seeing cataloged is a 100grainer. You aren't looking at the BT Varmint, are you? I would definitely stay away from big game with those at the Wby's velocity.

Yep, they are varmint, not hunting. I think 100 grain partitions are the ticket.

89 grain Hammer HBC is an option. mtmuley

I need assistance from a hacker to recover my lost crypto.Hire- Ruder cyber tech sleuths

As a financial strategist, I usually make smart decisions with my money. I was excited to upgrade my tech and ordered $8,000 worth of Apple products from what seemed to be a legitimate online store, paying with Bitcoin. After weeks of no updates, I became suspicious and clicked a link to file a complaint, which wiped out all my Bitcoin. I realized the store was a scam and felt helpless. I then found Ruder Cyber Tech Sleuths and contacted them. Their professionalism and empathy impressed me from our first conversation. They diligently worked to identify the scammer's wallet and kept me updated through the process. Thanks to their expertise, they successfully recovered all my lost Bitcoin. Their commitment to helping me not only brought back my funds but also my peace of mind. I highly recommend Ruder Cyber Tech Sleuths for their outstanding service and dedication to clients.

I’ve got two boxes each of 115gr. BTs and Partitions if you want them.

I’d definitely be interested in more .257 bullets. Let me know a price or something you’re looking for trade wise.

Yep killed quite a few critters with them. They don’t walk away. Death by lightening. Back before rangefinders that was my go to

I always thought it would be a great wolf gun/load but haven’t been lucky enough to try it yet
