[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 826202, member: 12995"] With the 110 NAB's, right around 3,426 fps muzzle. With the 115 Berger VLD's around 3,300 fprs muzzle. Believe it or not, alot of the Weatherby factory ammo is designed for blistering velocities, which is not always the most accurate. My .257 used to shoot the factory Weatherby ammo loaded with the 110 NAB's, and it was about a 1-1.5 MOA (1"-1½") group gun @ 100 yards. Since reloading, I have turned the speeds down, and gotten MUCH improved groupings. Like ¼ to ½ MOA (¼" to ½") groups @ 100 yards, which means you will get much tighter groups further out, as well. You should see what the 110 NAB's do to a full water bottle @ 100 yards.....It's pretty cool to see what it essentially does to a deer's insides when it passes through. After seeing that display, I think ALOT more people will be believers in the "little" .257 Wby caliber's capabilities. I've had mine since 2008, and I love that caliber. So much so, that I'm turning my .338 WinMag into a lightweight .257 Wby, since my Accumark is a rather heavy rifle to tote around the woods. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask, anytime. And I'll try to answer them as best I can. [/QUOTE]
