[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 972046, member: 5219"] Four of us built five 257 Weatherby chambered rifles a few years back. All of us used the Berger 115 VLD on quite a few animals. We had Dave Kiff's input when we had the reamer made. All five rifles shot excellent groups with RL-25 with bullets .070" to .100"jump to lands. All rifles have 3 groove liljas. Here is the list to date on the 27 animals taken with these rifles: My 257: 6 Coues wt longest shot 525 yds other yardages: 250, 350, 385, 400 and 400 Antelope at 560 yds Dan’s 257: 4 mule deer (everything in CO) 6 elk (bull and cow) Allen’s 257 5 coues wt 419yds,412yds,328yds and 276yds. Tim's 257: 5 coues unknown (to me) distances except last year’s at 237 yds Quite a few of the deer dropped to the shot without even twitch. My 525 yd shot entered the coues just behind the shoulder and EXITED through the elbow of offside shoulder. We feel this bullet is an excellent performer. [/QUOTE]
