[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1523933, member: 27307"] Just how does he want to 'set up' his .257 WBY rifle? More information is better than our wasting time guessing. It is unfortunate that the .25 caliber realm has been ignored in favor of nearly every other caliber and cartridge now. We have the Blackjack 131 grain and the Hammer Hunter 128 grain but even with some additional BC in combination with the velocity capability of the .257 WBY, we often come up short past the 800 yard limit as far as energy is concerned. Now if 800 is good for him then have at it. The Speer 120 BTSP is good to about 750 as is the Berger VLD but beyond that you only gain about 50 more yards even if your accuracy node is at the top of the velocity scale. A node at a lower velocity reduces the range at which you can attain 1,000 ft/lbs. of energy. [/QUOTE]
