[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1662759, member: 26077"] The 257 Bee is usually pretty easy to load for. I have never had one that didn't like the 117 grain Horn, but a few didn't like partition and/or TSX. Have you tried it with Weatherby Select ammo. All of the 257 Bees I have owned would shoot that stuff well under an inch, many into 1/2" and the ammo is cheaper than buying brass, which is how I discovered how well it shoots. All 257 Bees I shoot three shot groups with 2-5 minute cool down between shots and cooled to dead cold between groups. Never had to use more than one round on any game with the Bee so don't really care what it does with a hot barrel. If Select ammo won't shoot under an inch then there is something wrong with the gun, not enough gap in the float, stock pressing against barrel due to flex, not well bedded (I have seen this more than once on Weatherby rifles) bore off centre, bore worn etc. Check and fix easiest ones first and work on one variable at a time. Let us know how you make out. [/QUOTE]
