[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1763631, member: 3728"] PTG has a reamer for 257 Weatherby as a parent case. Take 264 or 7mm Rem mag cases, neck down. This reamer has zero freebore. Neck is a tad shorter than Weatherby brass, so you could never fire weatherby ammo in a rifle chamberd with this reamer. You run the 264 or 7 RM cases through the 257 Weatherby full length sizer and the double radius shoulder is formed perfectly...I mean perfect. I used Lee sizing wax as a lube on the shoulder. I did not loose one single case. I used Winchester brass. 100g at 3850 with 26" barrel, 4000 fps on a 30" finished barrel 115's at 3600 R#22 with Fed 215's Groups below .300 I used #5 tapered barrels from Hart, 26" finished length, 10Twist, with a gentry muzzle break, and I saw the water vapor fly off the animals when hit. Amazing how accurate the 100g Partitions were in this cartridge, 1/2" groups. Deer NEVER run after being hit, they are dead before they hit the ground, 300 and under. I shot 100g Nosler ballistic tips, 100g Hornady, 100g nosler partitions, 100g ttsx. I have never seen any other cartridge kill white tails as fast as this cartridge, lung shot. [/QUOTE]
