[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2587477, member: 27307"] Commercial ammunition for the .257 Weatherby consists of 110, 115 and 120 grain bullets. Ballistic Tips, Partitions, Accubonds and ELD-X. Since these are all cup and core bullets they only require the 1:10" twist due to length. Eventually there should be at least one solid turned bullet available also. Weatherby is using the Hammer bullets in some of their cartridges but not the .257 yet. Including the solids in their lineup will require a faster twist rate when using the heavier, longer bullets so manufacturing on the rifle side will need to catch up and add to their selection of barrels for this chamber. You can use a search engine such as AmmoSeek or AmmoBuy to find which ones are available and at what price. Midway shows a fairly complete selection except most are not in stock. Enjoy! :) [/QUOTE]
