[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 100597, member: 1290"] My super tack driver recipe for the 257Wby is as follows. From brand new the only brass prep has been a light inside chamfer. I never clean primer pockets or trim necks. I use only Weatherby brand brass. The best accuracy comes from used brass so it fits my chamber perfectly. I do tumble it until is is highly polished. I don’t think that helps accuracy much but it makes me feel better about my loads if they look nice. The brass is neck sized only in a Lee Collet die. Then I add the following: CCI-250 primer. 77 grains of RL-22 75 grain V-Max seated at 3.250" I do use a Black Diamond 8-32 scope on this one so I can see what I'm doing very well. Other than the first 1 1/2 inches under the chamber that is bedded the rest of the barrel is generously free floated. My other two Accumarks are completely free floated. All my Weatherby like light bullets but they are not practical for anything but varmints. I use 100 grain Partitions because I can get them cheap. I believe the 100 grain Barnes triple shocks are more accurate for a deer worthy bullet. [img]http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/5086/257Accumark.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
