Is A 257 Weatherby A Good Gun To Hunt Whitetails? I Was Thinking Of Buying One.
This was Roy Weatherby's favorite round
I'm going to use a 24" with a brake coming out @ 26". I would of preferred a 26" , but that's the way it goes. Check out Layne Simpson's article on the 257 Wby in Shooting Times. Out of his testing, only one load had a higher velocity on a 26" barrel vs the 24". And some in the 24" were actually higher. I know a guy doing these rechambers for a good price. Let me know if your interested.Gamedog, what barrel length were are you going to use? I also have thought of doing the same. I have go the 87 to run right @ 4k, and the 75 v-max to hit 4.2K. Speed Kills.
