I got the same start up loads from Berger. I began with retumbo. And pretty much stayed with it. Didn’t get the velocity I was hoping for but definitely acceptable. 69.4 grains is putting me at 2950 fps. The accuracy more than makes up for it. My set up is basically the same as yours. REM...

Guys just a heads up, On The Mark has Berger .257 cal 133 grain Elite Hunters in stock.

Yeah just checked myself. Glad I jumped on them when I did. One thing I have found when it comes to notifications, if you do not go back and update monthly it will not keep you notified. So I revisit all these sights monthly and update notifications. In doing so at times I have found projectiles...

Precision Reloading had both the 133 and 135s in stock last month. I got a couple hundred.

Anyone else test the heavier 128 grain or higher weight bullets out of a 257 Weatherby Mag. I am still waiting on my custom build also with a 1-7.25 twist. Got both 128 grain hammers and 133 grain Berger Elite hunters. Just hard to find any hard info on 257 Weatherby Mag loads. I got a couple...

Have some Black Jacks on back order. Been on back order for a while. So much so that I’m getting a bit concerned. I have reached out to them via email but have not had a response. I do have some hammers. I guess Berger is still holding out. This was the twist rate recommended by black jack which...

Hello guys, I’m new to the sight and hope I’m putting this in the correct forum. I’m also new to long range shooting. I stumbled across this sight looking for some loads for my 257 Weatherby Mag. It was a regular Remington 700 CDL I had for a few years. Deciy to have it made over. I’m basically...

Hello all, new to the forum and glad I found it. I live in and Hunt in South Texas. Live and fish on the coast and hunt in the brush country. Seems like a a very knowledgable group. My long range shooting skills are not as sharp as most of you guys on here but that's what I'm hoping to improve...
