[QUOTE="Quarter Round, post: 236200, member: 4845"] Slayer to my knowledge you will not find bullets that heavy in .257. Wildcat Bullets does produce some heavier than standard offerings, but you will need a faster twist barrel for Wildcat's heaviest offering. The Weatherby is a 1 in 10 twist. I prefer bullets in the 100 to 120gr. weight for the Weatherby and leave the 75 to 100gr. for my 25-06 Rem. Tonight I will load some Berger VLD 115s at starting load for testing. Powders typically used for large cartridges have a slower burn rate and our lit off with a magnum primer used when starting the load out at min. and working up to recipe book max. if that particular rifle can be safely loaded to max. So buy you a good reloading book now and start studying and be ready when you get your reloading tools. [/QUOTE]
