[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 792897, member: 10429"] I use to have a 257 weatherby and it was a fun rifle to shoot but it seemed to picky for me. I was getting around to tring Rl25 but never did. If you search the site there was a good read on RL25 and the 110 or 115's. My best and tightest load was 7828ssc but when the temp when up the load went south. It went from 3 shots toughing at 100 to about .8inch group as the temp got above 60 degrees. I was loading max. Probablly H1000 will be the most consistant in the rifle or was the most consistant in mine. But I sold mine off to get a 6.5x284. For as hunting I remember taken an antelope at 258yrds with the weatherby 115 blastic tips and it smoke her in her tracks. Not a lot of meat loss. I took another at 400yrds same bullet and this time the bullet went all the way through but left about a 50cal hole on the other side. I must say it was probablly the best shot I've ever made because it played out like slow motion in the scope. I seen the impact ripple on the goat and the blood start coming out. Lope spunn over backwards and did a flip. I only shot the 110's and the 115's but not very many of the 110's. The heavier the bullets the less wind drift. Something to think about. I would think if RL25 would work retumbo will also work as well. my 2cents. [/QUOTE]
