[QUOTE="30-378 great, post: 269007, member: 16218"] i am the proud owner of 2- custom built 257 wbys 0ne on an 03a3 action with a 28 in lilja #5 barrel the load for it is76gr of h-1000 w/ nos bt 100gr, it pushes that bullet at 3674 and 3/8 to 1/2 in. at 100 yards. and whats interesting i bought a vanguard 257 and had the same problem as you,i finally put a good 28in. lilja barrel on it and waalaa! it shoots as good as my other one,but not the same load. this one likes the 115gr berger with 74gr. h-1000 @3585 fps . i also have timney triggers on both of them.the vanguard still has the factory stock but it is bedded. i found this cal. to be an excellent deer and antelope round and also have had alot of fun using it on long range varmints. I suggest you put a good barrel on your action and clean after every 5 shots as they build copper quikly if you dont stay on top of it. good luck. kenny goff [/QUOTE]
