[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 618587, member: 5219"] Regarding the 115 Berger VLDs: Four of my friends and myself all built 257 Weatherbys a few years ago. Pacific Tool and Gauge made the reamer to our specs. We had the freebore reduced to .100". The throat is 1 degree 30 minute angle. All five rifles shoot the 115 VLD with great accuracy. We chose RL-25 as the powder. I have no idea if your rifle will shoot the VLDs. All you can do is try. If you cannot get them to shoot there are other bullets available. Eventually Berger they will have hybrids available. They are not sensitive to seating depth. It could be a long wait. The big game count for the five of us using 115 VLDs: 1 antelope 16 coues wt 3 mule deer 5 elk If you can get the 115 VLDs to shoot you will be very happy with their killing abilities. [/QUOTE]
